THE TOP CENSORED STORIES OF 2007 ~ #2
THE TOP CENSORED STORIES OF 2007 ~ #1
Anybody who reads my writings knows that I do not trust mainstream media alllll that much! Nothing is ever as it seems. However, the media does not just distort or shape the wee bit of information it tosses to the public, it also ignores or downplays articles that just might upset the populace. Things the Elite would rather we did not know. Each major link leads to well done exposes on the topic involved. All I have done is elaborate on the theme. PLEASE read the main articles!
#1 Future of Internet Debate Ignored by Media
SAVE THE INTERNET!America is Under Attack! ~ Henry Rollins
Don't be fooled. Web sites like "Hands Off The Internet" are industry front groups ~ the products of high-priced consultants bought and paid for by the cable and phone industry. Companies like AT&T, Verizon, BellSouth and their trade associations are spending millions every week to mislead and misinform the American public.
Their latest attempt to hoodwink Internet users is a cutesy cartoon at www.dontregulate.org ~ a clever piece of industry propaganda that is riddled with half-truths and outright lies.
The telco giants cloak their real interests behind a populist message that sounds plausible, while undermining the work of genuine public and consumer advocates.
Here's a quick guide to help you cut through the industry spin:
THE BIG TELECOM COMPANIES SAY: "Is the Internet in Danger? Does the Internet need saving? It keeps getting faster. We keep getting more choices."
THE TRUTH: Right now AT&T and others want to take away your choices and control what you can do and watch online. They're on their best behavior while trying to convince Congress to hand over the Internet. But if their high-priced lobbyists get their way in Washington, the Internet as we know it will be gone. Network Neutrality has always curbed the control of the network owners, invited competition and encouraged innovators. It's what made it possible for entrepreneurs and creative thinkers to prosper online.
None of the big ideas that made the Internet the innovative engine it is today came from the cable or telephone companies.
AS FOR MORE CHOICES: today, more than 50% of Americans have only one or no choice of broadband service provider. In most of the remaining markets there are only two choices: one dominant telephone service (DSL) and one dominant cable provider. But these large phone and cable companies have plainly stated that they see no need for network neutrality. Their top executives have even announced plans to discriminate in favor of Web sites and services that can afford their proposed broadband tolls. For the majority of broadband users in America, then, what real choices are left when the only providers in town decide to discriminate against content? Very few to none.
THE BIT TELECOM COMPANIES SAY: "Building the next generation of the Internet is going to take a lot of work and cost a lot of money. And some big corporations can't wait to use it ~ They're going to make billions. But they don't want to pay anything. Instead they want to stick consumers with the whole bill."
THE TRUTH: Nobody is getting a free ride on the Internet. Any Web site or service you use on the Internet has already paid these providers to reach you ~ just like you pay to send e-mail and download files. In fact, total expenses from major content and service providers to expand network capacity totaled about $10 billion last year. But the cable and phone companies want even more ~ forcing content providers to pay protection money to get a spot in the fast lane. Who do you think will pay that bill? You will ~ big time. The costs will be passed directly to consumers.
If Net Neutrality is so bad for consumers, why do ALL the major consumer groups support it and ALL the major phone companies oppose it?
Who do you trust more to defend your Internet rights? Without meaningful protections of Net Neutrality, there will be less choice on the Internet and higher prices, at a time we're already falling far behind the rest of the world.
THE BIG TELECOM COMPANIES SAY: "These corporations are asking Congress to create volumes of new regulations to control how content is delivered over the Internet. Should politicians and bureaucrats replace network administrators? It will be the first major government regulation of the Internet and it will fundamentally change how the Internet works. These big corporations and the SavetheInternet campaign want the government to take control of the Internet."
THE TRUTH: There's nothing new about the principles underlying Net Neutrality. They have been a fundamental part of the Internet since its inception. As the "common carriage" tenet of communications policy, they go back some 70 years. Only last year did the Supreme Court uphold a bad decision by the Federal Communications Commission to do away with the rules that forced cable and phone companies to open up their networks to competitors.
Those rules protected Internet freedom by ensuring lots of competition ~ think of all the choices you've had for long distance service or dial-up Web access. In fact, Net Neutrality rules still protect the Internet under a temporary FCC ruling. All a Net Neutrality law would do is maintain the even playing field we've always enjoyed ~ by preventing big cable and telephone corporations from taking over as gatekeepers.
THE BIG TELECOM COMPANIES SAY: "The net neutrality issue is a fundamental question about who should control the Internet: The people or the government? And it's a fight about who's going to pay: multi-billion dollar corporations or you?"
THE TRUTH: Who should control the Internet? Now that's a good question. But the real choice we face is whether we're going to keep the good government policy that has protected Internet freedom, created a truly free market in content and services, and encouraged free speech to flourish online ~ or let predatory companies like AT&T and Comcast rewrite our telecommunications law and place their chokehold on online content and services.
For the entire history of the Internet, Web sites and online ideas have succeeded or failed on their own merit based on decisions now made collectively by millions of users. Getting rid of Net Neutrality will hand these decisions over to a cartel of broadband barons. Do we really want Ma Bell and the Cable Guy picking the next generation of winners and losers on the Internet?

FEW GAYS OPT TO MARRY
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
December 11, 2007
DESPITE THE EXAMPLE set by these Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers, less than one-in-20 gays took advantage of Canada's decision to legalize marriage in June 2005, according to census a year later.
Gays make up just 1% of all married couples, a proportion which is consistent with other countries that permit same-sex marriage.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEFINITION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT HETEROSEXUAL INSTITUTION WAS CHANGED TO SATISFY ONE COUPLE IN ONE THOUSAND.
This information is crucial to Americans where only Massachusetts permits same-sex marriage but as many as eleven other states are considering it.
In terms of numbers, Statistics Canada calculated that about 1% of the Canadian population are gay or bisexual, well below the estimates we normally hear. (StasCan Daily “Community Health Survey” , June 15 2004, p. 9) This works out to 316,900 people. The 2006 census found 7465 married same-sex couples, fewer than 15,000 men and women.
ROUGHLY A QUARTER OF CANADIAN GAYS (75,000) PREFER “COMMON LAW” RELATIONSHIPS. THERE IS NO WAY TO GAUGE THEIR PERMANENCE OR EXCLUSIVITY.
The vast majority of homosexuals don't want gay marriage. It is being foisted on them and on society by elite social engineers using the media, government and a few activists.
The goal is to undermine heterosexual marriage by obscuring its true character.
HERE IS WHY THEY DON'T IN THEIR OWN WORDS: The majority of gays regard same-sex marriage as a diversion from more important issues. This view is expressed by Gareth Kirby in an editorial in Capital Xtra, an Ottawa gay newspaper, Oct. 18, 2007.
“Remember the headlines...that claimed we were flocking to city hall and churches to get the deed done as courts legalized same-sex marriage in province after province? ...It was a lie. Very few among us are eager to embrace marriage rights...
“Didn't we just spend a decade and by some estimates $2 million to wage this fight? Didn't we just put all our other major issues virtually on ice because some couples, a few lawyers, and a couple of out-of-touch lobby groups decided that same-sex marriage was the only thing that really mattered...
"Marriage is a heterosexual institution designed by the church, endorse by the state, with the intention of controlling the sexuality of women and by extension, their husbands...
"I don't expect the wedding rate will pick up. We have something better in our relationships, something that allows for a variety of friendships, fuck buddies, lovers, sisters and ex's. We don't put all the pressures on one person...
"We don't need the limitations of marriage. So we're taking a pass. But what waste of time and money, and a tragic diversion of focus, in that decade-long fight.”
As Kirby suggests, being gay is about not marrying and being monogamous. It is farcical and tragic that heterosexual society should be sacrificed on the altar of gay marriage. Marriage-minded gays should be given a separate status with equal benefits and responsibilities.
The fact the mass Media is singing from an identical song sheet is further proof that it is directed by the central banking cartel. In an article in The Hill Times (Sept. 24, 2007) Tom Korski writes:
SOME GREAT MEDIA LINES:
'Thank heavens for gay marriage,' wrote Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Went. 'Without it, the most ancient of our social institutions would be in even worse decline than it already is.'
Other journalists advised readers “the nuclear family is fading away,” (Edmonton Sun) and that “same sex couples are taking the reins” (CTV.ca), or mocked the myth of the perfect family,” (Vancouver Sun) and lamented “there is no such thing as traditional family anymore.” (Moose Jaw Times Herald)
In one comically inelegant phrase CTV National's Lloyd Robertson told viewers, “If you're part of a so-called traditional family where the children are raised by a mother and father who are married, you seem to be in a declining breed.” (End of Korski)
Meanwhile the gay lobby behind the legalization of same-sex marriage is releasing statistics that exaggerate the number of gay marriages by about 65%. This lobby is called “Egale” and it is funded by IBM and a number of other anonymous corporations, as well as by the federal government.
EDUCATION, MEDIA AND BIG BUSINESS GENERALLY
BELONG TO A COLONIAL ELITE.
THEY REPRESENT THE LONDON-BASE
MASONIC-ZIONIST CENTRAL BANKING CARTEL
WHICH IS COLONIZING US ALL IN A 1984-STYLE
“WORLD GOVERNMENT.”
We derive our identity, meaning, values and security from it. Heterosexual marriage is the basis for raising the new generation to be productive responsible citizens. It is an essential step in our personal development and fulfillment.
IT IS BASED ON THE ANCIENT TRADITIONAL EXCHANGE OF FEMALE POWER FOR MALE LOVE WHICH AWAKENS THE MAN'S PROTECTIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE INSTINCTS.
The promotion of gay marriage has NOTHING to do with the welfare of homosexuals. AS WITH FEMINISM, IT IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE SEX-ROLE CONFUSION, DIVORCE, AND DEPOPULATION. By conflating hetero and homosexual marriage, straights are being encouraged to emulate gays, who generally are not monogamous and do not have children.
THIS IS PART OF A WIDER ATTACK
ON OUR GENDER IDENTITY
Did we need to legalize gay marriage to accommodate one couple in one thousand?
NO!!
their tutelage, a perpetual under-achiever.

AMERICA ~ A NEW SCHOOL PRAYER
THE ADL UNDER THE ARM OF THE BN'AI B'RITH AND OTHER SUCH ZIONIST ORGANIZATIONS ARE ON A SERIOUS MISSION TO REMOVE ALL ASPECTS OF CHRISTIANITY FROM THE PUBLIC. AFTER ALL, IN THEIR TALMUD, JESUS IS PAINTED AS EVIL BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF JEWS, LED PRIMARILY BY THE FANATIC CHABAD LUBAVITCH, HATE HIM WITH A PASSION. THEIR PLAN HAS BEEN TO COMPLAIN IF ANYTHING OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION IS IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. THIS IS WHY PRAYER WAS DISCONTINUED. THIS IS WAY VARIOUS TEACHERS HAVE HAD GREAT DIFFICULTIES FOR EVEN HAVING A COPY OF THE BIBLE IN THE CLASSEOM. IN SOME PLACES EVEN THE TORAH IS REMOVED. THE LONG TERM GOAL IS TO CREATE A NATION OF ATHEISTS. WHY/ BECAUSE IN THE LONG TERM, WHEN THEIR GOD LUCIFER FINALLY ARRIVES, PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE THE LAWS OF GOD OR THE LAWS OF LUCIFER, AND MOST LIKELY HAVE TO WEAR THE CHIP. THOSE WHO REFUSE WILL MOST LIKELY BE TAKEN TO THE GUILLOTINE.
THESE PEOPLE, THE CHABAD LUBAVITCH, BEHIND THE MOVEMENT THAT PUSHES FOR "HAPPY SEASON" RATHER THAN "MERRY CHRISTMAS" AND SEEK TO ERACATE THE CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND AND BACKBONE OF AMERICA. DON'T YOU THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME TO TAKE A STAND ON MAINTAINING CHRISTIAN VALUES? AT AT PRESENT THEY ARE BEHIND THE ATHEIST MOVEMENT BECAUSE THAT, TOO, REMOVES OBLIGATIONS TO GOD AND MAKES IT EASIER TO LIVE AN UNRELISGIOUS LIFE DEVOID OF WORSHOP.
THEIR LATEST MOVE IS, I THINK SHOCKING. THE ACLU HAS HAD A BILL PASSED TO REMOVE ALL THE CRUCIFIXES FROM THE FALLEN HEROS IN THE MILITARY CEMETERYS BECAUSE "IT OFFENDS US".AS IT IS, CHAPLAINS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO REFER TO JESUS IN HIS WORK TO COMFORT THE SOLDIERS WHO COME TO HIM FOR RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE.
NOW THAT IS CRIMINAL.!!!
THIS CHILD'S PLAYER CONCERNS THESE ISSUES.
THIS KID CAPTURES THIS IS HIS LTTLE POEM . ENJOY AND BE AWARE OF THE EVILS OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN THESE MATTERS.
Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore because, in the name of political correctness, the word "God" is forbidden for fear of offending an atheist or those of other faiths, a kid in Arizona wrote the following:
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And any time my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair may be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense ~ it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific ~ the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone ~ with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name allowed is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
Pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We are given our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
Chaos reigns ~ my school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make ~
Should I be shot ~ my soul please take! Amen

THE AGED ~ FAT OR FIT?
Europe, as it gets greyer and more arthritic, risks becoming an old people's home. Slow decline, and then fall. Wrong. Nicholas Ebersdadt and Hans Groth have an interesting article in The International Herald Tribune:
Its aging population is exceptionally healthy. As a result, its people are more capable of remaining productive into their advanced years now than they used to be, and perhaps even more so than their American counterparts. "Healthy aging" in fact may turn out to be a trump card for enhancing prosperity and international competitiveness - if Europeans are willing to play it as such.
For example:
Western Europeans' robust health could translate to competitive advantages. For example, Western Europeans have distinctly better odds of surviving their working years than do Americans. This difference affects economic potential, not least because longevity shifts people's cost-benefit calculus about whether to pursue higher education: The prospect of living longer generally encourages investment in learning and skills and thus facilitates higher productivity.
So hooray then. We don't have to breed like mad or euthanize the unproductive, we just have to crack the whip over the oldies. Actually, let's not be too optimistic says the demographer Phillip Longman:
In the United States, for example, the dramatic increases in obesity and sedentary lifestyles are already causing disability rates to rise among the population 59 and younger. Researchers estimate that this trend will cause a 10–20% increase in the demand for nursing homes over what would otherwise occur from mere population aging, and a 10–15% increase in Medicare expenditures on top of the program's already exploding costs. Meanwhile, despite the much ballyhooed "longevity revolution," life expectancy among the elderly in the United States is hardly improving. Indeed, due to changing lifestyle factors, life expectancy among American women aged 65 was actually lower in 2002 than it was in 1990, according to the Social Security Administration. The same declines in population fitness can now be seen in many other nations and are likely to overwhelm any public health benefits achieved through medical technology. According to the International Association for the Study of Obesity, an "alarming rise in obesity presents a pan-European epidemic."
I suspect that both opinions are right. America and Europe will have a geriatric underclass of the fat, sick and unproductive, as well as a golden oldie majority who are fit, active and a rich resource that society should draw on. Class, as ever, will out.

CANCER AND PLASTICS
FOR YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN TELLING US
CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY
TO MAYBE ELIMINATE CANCER.
NOW JOHN HOPKINS FINALLY SAYS
THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
Chemotherapy is a cruel scam, but the medical industry loves it because once a patient starts chemotherapy, they become a repeat customer (generating repeat revenues) due to all the other organ damage caused by the procedure. For example, "chemobrain" is now a well document side effect of chemotherapy, proving that chemotherapy actually causes permanent brain damage. Click here to read more.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. Prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO BATTLE CANCER IS TO STARVE THE CANCER CELLS BY NOT FEEDING IT WITH THE FOODS IT NEEDS TO MULTIPLY.
Stevia Rebaudiana
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. SUGAR IS A CANCER-FEEDER. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and are also very harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Stevia, a natural sweetener from South America is also a wonderful substitute. It is now readily available almost everywhere. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. MILK CAUSES THE BODY TO PRODUCE MUCUS, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. CANCER FEEDS ON MUCUS. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. CANCER CELLS THRIVE IN AN ACID ENVIRONMENT. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. AVOID COFFEE, TEA, AND CHOCOLATE, WHICH HAVE HIGH CAFFEINE. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. UNDIGESTED MEAT REMAINING IN THE INTESTINES BECOMES PUTREFIED and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. BY REFRAINING FROM OR EATING LESS MEAT IT FREES MORE ENZYMES TO ATTACK THE PROTEIN WALLS OF CANCER CELLS AND ALLOWS THE BODY'S KILLER CELLS TO DESTROY THE CANCER CELLS.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. CANCER IS A DISEASE OF THE MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. ANGER, UNFORGIVENESS AND BITTERNESS PUT THE BODY INTO A STRESSFUL AND ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT. LEARN TO HAVE A LOVING AND FORGIVING SPIRIT. LEARN TO RELAX AND ENJOY LIFE.
16. CANCER CELLS CANNOT THRIVE IN AN OXYGENATED ENVIRONMENT. Exercising daily and deep breathing help deliver more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
HERE ARE A FEW EASY POINTERS
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
Presenting DIOXIN as a weapon of war. Thanks Monsanto.
Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE HEATING OUR FOOD IN THE MICROWAVE USING PLASTIC CONTAINERS.
One of millions of Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange ~ dioxin.
This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends USING GLASS, SUCH AS CORNING WARE, PYREX OR CERAMIC CONTAINERS for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
PAPER ISN'T BAD BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IN THE PAPER. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. HE REMINDED US THAT A WHILE AGO SOME OF THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS MOVED AWAY FROM THE FOAM CONTAINERS TO PAPER. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. AS THE FOOD IS NUKED, THE HIGH HEAT CAUSES POISONOUS TOXINS TO ACTUALLY MELT OUT OF THE PLASTIC WRAP AND DRIP INTO THE FOOD. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
Paul said (December 13, 2007):
I'm a Gay man in a twenty three year monagamous, committed relationship (and a Truth Seeker reader). Your article on gay Marriage is a beauty. I found myself in pretty much full agreement with what you were saying. We have no interest in marriage, and never saw it as an issue. Still don't. We won't be having kids obviously so for us marriage would just be a validation of our relationship. We already have that every day we are together, we don't need to advertise it to the world.
The Gay Marriage agenda has come from somewhere else, not from people like us. I find it all a trifle embarrassing really.
I know too many queens who can't even conduct a grown-up relationship with their right hand let alone another person, and we are now seeing way too many hetero relationships breaking down around us as well. Too much enforced culture of selfishness and hedonism being pushed on all of us, and too much temptation for transient (ultimately meaningless) pleasures. And I'm sick to death of self appointed activists always telling us what it is we want.
Dan said (December 13, 2007):
Obviously. That's what makes the gay marriage debate so absurd. It's a PR op aimed at heterosexuals.
Gay marriage is a technicality which enables gays legal benefits. Civil service and some private sector jobs cover a spouse on group health insurance and pension plans. Another big plumb is married 'couples' are favored in standing child adoption laws, for homosexuals and lesbians who desire children.
All gays are promiscuous. I've known old gay 'couples', and their lifestyle invariably included multiple partners - invariably younger ones.
