Prop 8

November 8, 2008 @ 9:21 pm categories : Featured, Rants

There’s a lot of hoopla going about regarding Prop 8. And, with good reason. Marriage is a right all adults should be entitled to. I say that without qualification or exemptions. Normally, I might say “all sound-minded adults”, but I refuse to believe there’s ever been a situation in which someone got so drunk that they suddenly decided getting hitched was a good idea. Sure, some people have used that excuse, but that’s what annulment is for, and “not being of sound mind” (i.e. too drunk to fuck) is a legal excuse in every court of American law that I’ve studied. So, it’s a moot point.

It boils down to this..

Your freedom of religion ends where mine begins.

If your religion doesn’t like what my religion (or lack thereof) enjoys, that is hardly my problem. The exception to this rule is pretty simple : unless what I believe hinders another person’s lifestyle in an intentionally harmful way, your right to prevent me from doing so is null and void (and vice-versa). This covers 99.9% of all arguments, and prevents some hackneyed moron from piping up to say “Oh! Well, what if your religion considers murder a basic right?”. Cause if that’s your counter-argument, then you are too brainless to carry on a conversation about such things in the first place.

Diggin' my shit? Well then..
