rhetoric loud and often

Spain's lower house of parliament has approved the right of homosexual couples to marry and adopt children. Justice Minister Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar argued that the bill overcomes "the barriers of discrimination, many of them with deep historical or primitive roots, which affect rights and freedoms and, in a specific way, the extension of free choice in the search for happiness, an unwritten basic right".
A civil contract in France called the Pacs already gives some rights to cohabiting couples, regardless of their sex, but not the full rights of marriage, notably over taxes, inheritance and adoption.

Once again the rhetoric. Once again the majority is over ruled. Why not call the heterosexual union of two people marriage and that of homosexual people myopiascod since all that they are after is the rights? Right? What ever happened to “The ability or power to see or make fine distinctions; discernment” called discrimination? Those of us who are heterosexual and married and want to keep the distinction and are in the majority are bad? Does 'marriage' mean something which they want badly enough - and can not have - that they will do anything by any means to 'acquire' it? Funny we can not use Mrs. because it will make a distinction But if we are in authority, as the president or in parliament we want our name and picture very strongly distinguished every where and every when, Even when the rest of us do not want it. We have the right to make the distinction when we want to and not when we want to, and to with the majority. And what is this “primitive” innuendo? Oh yes, evolution is not a religion, it is a scientific fact. Well then the French guys got it all wrong, those rights “free choice in the search for happiness” are inaliable, France can’t give them away. Or can they? (I just decided to spell that word differently, so the dictionary can’t find it, oh well… ‘That cannot be transferred to another or others’ – inalien…)

No doubt, we are our own gods. Each of us. We will exert our rights even if we have to drag heaven down out of the sky to do it. Legally, pseudo democratically, or how ever else. And If we can use all the other illegal pseudo democratic people and things that people have done in the world to justify our right so be it.
