As I went through the reading this week, I couldn’t help but think about Professor Braine’s comments when she posted the reading- that this is one of the rare cases where evil intent seems to be involved. While many damaging policies have been put into place over the years, for most of them, one can argue that they were not made with bad intent, bad rather error of judgement. In the case of planned shrinkage, on the other hand, is is very difficult to see any motives behind these actions besides for hurting a particular segment of the population.
