In the "dock" ??
Last night I watched, and listened intently, to C-Span's coverage of the House Of Commons. The Debates were concerned with "Same Sex Marriage". From my long years and considerable experience with the subject, I've always known that sex, good, bad, or ugly, is never the "same". What they really are arguing is "same-gender" marriage; although, given today's technologies, that, too, is absurd. We're coming to know how little we've understood about both "sex" and "gender", and perhaps, should simply let people "be" !! But, then, what would governments and organized religions do?? Go out of business, perhaps?? As I write this, the Catholic Church is about to be exposed for its extensive and long-term involvement in the sytematic sexual abuse of children. The current Pope has announced his resignation; -- citing his "health".
The arguments in Parliament, by both Conservative and Liberal M.P.s, were well thought-out, well-informed, and, some were brilliant. My favorite was delivered by a black Back Bencher. You should look up the show on C-Span.
My personal experiences with "marriage" is an altogether different subject. I am a father of four, a grandfather of 6, a single parent, and half of a long-term relationship with a partner who is thirty years younger. Married at the age of 21, divorced and single-parented at the age 40, I've learned that you can't know whether marriage ever existed until it ends; either by divorce or by death. It is not a steady state! The writers of Fiddler On The Roof came closest to what I think the real definition of marriage should be. The interests of organized religion, (power and wealth), and goverments (male heirs and property), have always been suspect. The arguments for a "well-ordered-society" are laughable! Gays who argue for "same-sex marriage", in my view, are weak people who crave "acceptance" from people who have perfected the art of rejection. Don't get me started on what I think our "well-ordered-society" has devolved into.
Given the systematic, long-standing, utilization of English Law to de-humanize persons (claimed to be sub-human already) through hundreds of years of chattel slavery; we all should, just "give it up"!
The lies and charades have lasted far too long.
If you can build and sustain a committed relationship; however you do it, count yourself lucky; and, simply "live"!!
Stay Vigilant! Stay Involved!
