If we're going to kill off everybody who is "useless", then somebody has to decide what qualifies as a "useful" person. In practice, this always ends up being some bureaucracy with little insight into the real value of human life and human experience, who will just start another Holocaust. And what you'll be left with is not a master race of Ã?bermenschen, but a twisted society of heartless individuals, or (more likely) a swift and powerful revolt against your tyranny by the masses.
Well argued.

And back to the topic, I'm trying to smoke until I'm old and gray.
