Breakfast Scramble

Bullseye:

HONOLULU (AP [1]) – A U.S. Navy cruiser blasted a disabled spy satellite with a pinpoint missile strike that achieved the main mission of exploding a tank of toxic fuel 130 miles above the Pacific Ocean, defense officials said.

Children have rights to,  Maggie Gallagher: [2]

If children have a right to know their own biological parents — a claim recognized in international human rights law and one to which I am deeply sympathetic — there is no good reason to limit this claim to the small number of women who accept the agonizing burden of giving life to children they cannot raise.

Far more children these days are deprived of knowledge of their origins by a totally difference process: artificial insemination. How can we possibly countenance placing burdens exclusively on women who give life and excuse totally the men whose sole contribution to their child was to “donate” into a little cup, usually for money?

The high cost of feel good laws  Dr. Walter E. Williams [3]:

As of 2005, there were 90,000 Americans on the organ transplant waiting list that is expected to grow to 150,000 by 2015. The authors estimate that since 1990, close to 100,000 people have already died waiting for an organ and they estimate that by 2015, that number will have grown to 196,000. Such a toll doesn’t include all the pain and suffering of the waiting patient and his family.

Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government has collected enough signatures to let voters decide on a law that provides special rights to people with gender-identity confusion and essentially creates co-ed bathrooms.

Enacted by the Montgomery County Council, the controversial law originally included an exemption for facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms. However, the wording was removed from the law because officials didn’t think it was necessary, a county spokesman told WorldNetDaily.
