A step in the right direction
We live in a society where groups like the ACLU and many liberals are quick to make sure everyone feels ok and accepted. This leads to our current state where everyone is normal, everyone's entitled to whatever the please, teachers can't give a kid Tylenol for a headache, but can get the kid on Ritalin.
In today's science and technology we're keeping weaker and weaker people alive, I'm bombarded with emails so that gramps can buy a pill to get it on, and just about everyone now has allergies and ADD.
If unchecked our society is quickly going to deteriorate into a lazy sloths, who are whiny complainers, who are overweight, sick, crazy and just plain dumb. This is why I have been a long proponent of not allowing everyone the right to reproduce. It is a tough job raising a decent kid and quite frankly many people just don't make the cut.
Monroe County Family Court Judge Marilyn O'Connor has set precedent by ordering a couple in New York to have no more children. If the couple has children, will be charged with contempt of court. The judge is offering free sterilization for the couple. The parents already have four children, ages 1,2,4, and 5. All of them are neglected and all of them have tested positive for cocaine.
I applaud this move by Judge Marilyn O'Connor and have set up http://badparents.bryantchoung.com/ that allows you to report other parents and people who should not be allowed to reproduce. I'm sure we can get a pretty sizeable list just by looking through our archives.

RTFA:
"The judge is not forcing contraception on the couple nor is she requiring the mother to get an abortion should she become pregnant. The couple may choose to be sterilized at no cost to them, O'Connor ruled."

The New York Civil Liberties Union maintained that the opinion cannot be enforced because it "tramples on a fundamental right -- the right to procreate."
"There is no question the circumstances of this case are deeply troubling," said the group's executive director, Donna Lieberman. "But ordering a woman under threat of jail not to have any more babies ... puts the court squarely in the bedroom. And that's no place for the government."
Now this sickens me. The religious right says that abortion should be illegal, and does not consider this an intrusion of an unidentified individual's privacy, even if they don't know this woman and doesn't know she exists, except for the fact that her name is on a sign in sheet at a clinic. But it is an intrusion if you're telling an identified individual who can't get a handle on her drug addiction, that she shouldn't have anymore kids.
Hipocrisy? I think so.
