I believe there are several choices, but whilst most are instinctive and somewhat illegal (such as &#8220;shoot them&#8221; or &#8220;ship them off to stupidville&#8221;) I belive there are a few options worth exploring.<\/p>\n<p>1.) Educate them<br \/>\n2.) Ignore them<br \/>\n3.) Tell them they are &#8220;retarded&#8221; and send them into special care units<\/p>\n<p>All options have their pros and cons.<br \/>\n<strong>1.) Educating<\/strong><br \/>\n      Pros: * We effectively make the stupid people smart therefore eliminating them.<br \/>\n                * We stand to benefit as a society from more smart people<br \/>\n      Cons:* Due to an increased in skilled labour, there will be more competions for good jobs<br \/>\n                * There will be less stupid people to bitch about<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.) Igoring Them<\/strong><br \/>\n       Pros: * We wouln&#8217;t have to react to these imbeciles<br \/>\n                  * More readily avaiable cheap labour<br \/>\n        Cons: * They could rise up and topple the government through brute force (is this a con?)<br \/>\n                   * Well, they&#8217;re still an eyesore<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.) Send them to &#8216;Special&#8217; places<\/strong><br \/>\n       Pros: * Out of sight out of mind<br \/>\n                 * More jobs in the care sector<br \/>\n       Cons: * More weight on the taxpayer<br \/>\n                  * Smart people pretending they&#8217;re stupid to ride off government benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Any other ideas?
