From the I wish I had wrote this files…

Sometimes the Right,and in this case the Religious Right, can be just as authoritarian as the left.

Because, honestly, which traditional definition of marriage do we want our Constitution to protect?

...The one from Book of Genesis when family values meant multiple wives and concubines?
...Or the marriages of the Middle Ages when women were traded like cattle and weddings were too bawdy for church?
...Since this is America, should we preserve marriage as it existed in 1776 when arranged marriages were still commonplace?
...Or the traditions of 1850 when California became a state and marriage was customarily between one man and one woman-or-girl of age 11 and up?
...Or are we really seeking to protect a more modern vision of traditional marriage, say from the 1950s when it was illegal for whites to wed blacks or Hispanics?
...Or the traditional marriage of the late 1960s when couples were routinely excommunicated for marrying outside their faith?

The ones that think they know whats best are the ones you have got to watch.

This post from Borepatch got me to thinking about it's not just about "Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs" or even about "Mutts" It's the shepherds you really need to watch out for. Those people that feel they know what is best for the sheep even if it's being put into a lamb stew.

There is a feeling expressed by those who have been to the sharp end. That they see the wold clearer than most. Maybe so, but that doesn't give you the right to make me a slave to your will. Sheep are not free thay are the property of the sheperd, and he can do with them as he wills.

An out of control sheepdog is a symptom of an out of control shepherd, but the shepherd never gets the blame. Also, what happens to the sheepdog that hurts or kills a sheep?

The Thin Blue Line - the us vs. them crap needs to stop.

A lot of evil has been perpratrated with the justification of "This is for your own good!"

I did not join the millitary because it would make me special or beter than someone who didn't. People that become soldiers, firefighters, police officers are men and women that made a choice to do a job for reasons of theirown. If you joined one of these groups to become spiecial or join a brotherhood you need help.

Those that feel they have they right or the ability to take care of those around them are a danger to us all. I personaly have a hard enogh time keeping myown life in order; let alone trying to be responsible for all those around me. People need to first get and keep their own life in order before they even think about helping others.

A plea to all those in power if you actually feel qualified to make life choices for me put down your gun or legislative pen and back away slowly.

Worth Thinking About.

What are "they" building?

Hmmm...
