“What we’ve got is a failure in society, whether it’s in Mount Pleasant with yuppie parents or whether it’s on the East Side with poor crackhead parents,” said Charleston City Councilman Larry Shirley. “We pick up stray animals and spay them. These mothers need to be spayed if they can’t take care of theirs.”
There seems to be a flaw in this plan, making it unworkably incomplete.
Clearly, the mothers in question themselves were improperly raised, and so we must also find some way to punish their mothers. But, that would mean the mothers’ mothers themselves also were improperly raised, and so we must find some way to punish them as well. And so on.
This could take awhile.
