Entry: Marriage, Freedom, Discrimination Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/marriage_freedom_discrimination#21846 Post contents: It is only because we accept the premise that what is "legal" is "right" that this is an issue that causes concern. And it is an extension of democratic majoritarianism. "We" march on down to the school house and "elect" our representatives, so they must be "representing" our will, right? Even if that were true (which it clearly is not), it astounds me as to why 99 corrupt imbeciles should , in theory, be more "right" than one good man. Perhaps when we jettison these notions will the government's "recognition" of anything be brought to its proper level - irrelevancy. "Recognize" gay marriage, the "right" to abortion, the "sovereignty" of narco-pimps in Pristina, and so forth all you want, "our" dear leaders in Washington, we won't care as long as less than 10% of the "people" goes and pulls a lever or punches a card come November.
