Same-Sex Law needs to go

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

What law is this that Noreen Drake speaks about in a letter to the editor of the Leader Post on September 14th, 2006? Is it that if two or more people of the same sex congregate in the same place then they must be arrested? Is this a new law that I don't know about that is legislating what goes on in our bedrooms? Because I am all for a law that says having the same old sex the same old way really, really needs to go because boredom in the bedroom is a marriage killer.

But wait as I read more I realize, it's not that Noreen want to try out that Come a Come a Chameleon Karma Sutra book she has heard so much about. No sadly she is against Same-Sex Marriage.

In her first sentence she stated
In a just society - in a democracy which is Canada - the new same-sex marriage legislation is unjust.

She goes on to say: The bottom line is that it's not fair to pass a law that affects so critical a change to the character of our society without the majority agreement of our society.

She is hoping that in the fall session Prime Minister Stevie Harper would re-table the same-sex marriage legislation.

Where to start, where to start. Now I could go on an extended rant about her bigotry towards gays and lesbians and what is so wrong about giving them the same rights as every other human being on earth has, but that has been written and spoken by better people then me.

For me if I were to compare gays and lesbians getting married vs. more and more young Canadian men and women being killed daily in Afghanistan I would have to say Noreen, that having Canada go from being a peace keeping country to being in an active war which brought down what was once the country of USSR and happened without the vote of the country would seem to be a bigger issue then people who love each other getting married, paying taxes, volunteering in the community and helping their neighbors. How committed love "affects the character" of the community is beyond me. How 100's of young people coming back from a war dead or severely injured will affect the character of the community is something that should maybe concern the population more.

Honestly Noreen, I know of three couples in Regina and 1 in Saskatoon that have been married in the past 6 months and I haven't seen a decline in the character of the community, no increase of crime or decline in civility. Oh of course there is the issue of people falling into the dumpsters out at the landfill and that is of course something I worry about and should everyone. The city hired a safety consultant to analyze why people are falling into these dumpster containers while unloading their trucks. Hell they could have hired me and payed me a whole bunch less, it's simple, combine alcohol and gravity and well people are going to be accidentally dumpster diving into the landfill containers.

Sorry off the subject. The truth is, sometimes the government makes decisions that the people aren't ready to make. Sometimes the government makes right decisions as in same-sex marriage and sometimes they make wrong decisions as in Afghanistan. Two decisions, two different governments - one creates equality, one creates death.

So Noreen which of these would you want to vote on?
