State Secret: Thousands Secretly Sterilized
WINDFALL, N.C., May 15, 2005 — Beneath the surface of this Southern town, with its lush evergreens and winding riverbanks, is a largely forgotten legacy of pain, secrecy, and human indignity.
"My heart still bleeds, and it will forever bleed, because of what had happened to me," local resident Elaine Riddick said.
Riddick was one of thousands of people secretly sterilized by the state between 1929 and 1974.
From the early 1900s to the 1970s, some 65,000 men and women were sterilized in this country, many without their knowledge, as part of a government eugenics program to keep so-called undesirables from reproducing.

Ah! Eugenics! A system that actually works.
Whatever happened to it?

Are you being serious?
Is that how you usually adress difficult to believe and face topics? By outright dismissing them with ridicule and snide quips?

Typically, yeah.
No, not really. This just seems too much like classic conspiracy theories to me.
I don't really wanna cramp your style by imitating your ostrich-esque evasion tactics, honestly.

your instincts has
its
advantages
all
the
time...
This is freaky as anything...DO NOT
CHEAT
(You'll
will kick yourself later) I was a little
skeptical trying this, but if you follow the
instructions to the "t" you'll be
surprised!!!!
All of my answers were accurate. We'll see
tomorrow if the wish comes true. I'll let
you
know. Take 3 minutes and try this...it will
freak
you out! The person who sent it to me
said
her
wish came true 10 minutes after they read
the
mail. BUT NO CHEATING! This game
has
a
funny/spooky outcome.
Don't read ahead...just do it in order! It
takes
about three minutes...it's worth a try
First..get a pen and paper. When you
actually
choose names, make sure it's people you
actually
know and go with your first instinct.
Scroll down one line at a time...and don't
read
ahead or you'll ruin it!
1. First, write the numbers 1 through 11 in
a
column.
2. Then, beside numbers 1 and 2, write
down any
two numbers you want.
3. Beside the 3 and 7, write down the
names
of
members of the opposite sex.
NO LOOKING AHEAD...OR IT
WON"T
TURN OUT RIGHT!
4. Write anyone's name (like friends or
family....) in the 4th, 5th,
and 6th spots.
5. Write down four song titles in 8,9,10,
and
11.
GO WITH YOUR INSTINCT PEOPLE!!!!
6. Finally, make a wish.
And now the key for the game.....
1. You must tell (the number in space 2)
people
about this game.
2. The person in space 3 is the one that
you
love.
3. The person in 7 is one you like but
can't
work
out.
4. You care most about the person you
put in
4.
5. The person you name in number 5 is
the
one
who
knows you very well.
6. The person you name in 6 is your lucky
star.
7. The song in 8 is the song that matches
with
the person in number 3.
8. The title in 9 is the song for the person
in
7.
9. The tenth space is the song that tells
you
most about YOUR mind.
10. and 11 is the song telling you how
you
feel
about life
NOW...post this bulletin (dont reply) within
the
hour... IF you do..
your wish will come true...
If you don't it will become the opposite
u must post this in another room in 3 hours!!!! GOOD LUCK
