Not so much a "touchy" subject

As one reads through the columns that have been posted here by Dr. T and myself, one may gather that there are topics that have been avoided. That is not necessarily so. In some cases research needs to be done. Research is sometimes simply gathering more information on specific subject matter. Basically its the point that our columns hold enough importance with us, that they not be interpreted as a device for "half-cocked" rantings.

To the point, so-called "same-sex marriage", is not marriage at all. The idea that a definition of marriage has ever been understood to not necessarily mean one man and one woman is preposterous. Two men coming together under the auspices and idea of being betrothed in matrimony should make as much sense as my dog trying to marry the tree he relieves himself on in my yard. What the lesbian and gay lobbies want is an as of yet undeclared right that has not been created. Their screams of inequality are flat-out false. Each individual citizen in this country has as much right to marry as the next person, given that the person that the citizen wants to marry is of the opposite sex. A gay man has as much right to marry his boyfriend as I have as a married man to marry another woman in addition to my wife. The "same-sex marriage" crowd simply wants recognition, while they scream about legal and financial benefits that they are lacking. Bunk, simply bunk. I can legally leave my estate as defined by the directions set out in my last will and testament to absolutely anyone I choose. Heck, I could even leave it to my aforementioned dog. Which by the way does not mean I want to marry him (his breath is awful!). I can direct my doctor to allow anyone I wish to visit me in the hospital. I can legally name as a beneficiary to my life insurance policy anyone I wish. Heck I could even pick up a piece of driftwood and express my vows to it in front of a witch doctor, it still does not mean that I am married to said piece of wood.

What this argument is about is societal change, trying to change the foundations of western civilization. And specifically the bedrock of our society which is the family. A family as realized to be one man, one woman who are naturally assumed to produce the next generation of our society, ie. the child. That man and that woman then raise and nurture the child together (it doesn't take a "village"). Call it the duality of man, call it the yin and yang, but its two unequal beings equally creating and nurturing a future together.
