Don't You Worry About What Eugenics Means, Just Know that I'm Your Friend

I endorse eugenics, but I do so with some subtlety.
I'd never tell someone whose genes are subpar
That they ought not to have children. Rather,
I do these: I say that they should purchase guns,
That wearing masks in public is a grave abridgement
Of their freedom. I tell them that vaccines all
Are poisons made by communists, and that no
Self-respecting man or woman wears a helmet
When they're on their bikes. I see no reason
To upset them by insisting that the species
Would improve if they allowed their families
To be sterilized. I feel that I have done enough
By urging them to go on doing all the stupid
Things which shorten their unworthy lives.
