The words: "Husband" and "Wife" and "Bride" are Verboten!
It always bothers me how some always claim to champion the concept of diversity when they are the ones making us all the same. Whether states recognize gay marriage (or whatever the name du jour is) is up to them, or in this case, up to the United Kingdom.
When Prime Minister David Cameron chose to open up "civil marriage" to gay couples, these linguistic mandates followed close behind. The government as well as industry will have to revise their websites and documents to use sanitized words like "spouse" or "partner". Here in the US, they've tossed around "applicant 1" and "applicant 2".
Instead of truly opening it up for everyone, they are making us all the same on paper. We all have the same rights, but we are all not the same. Why aren't we allowed to be proud of who we are? As men. As women. As straight couples. Or gay couples. Truly embracing that rainbow of diversity would require acceptance of our differences, not a passive denial--as well as more boxes to tick on documents. (It seemed to work FOREVER with Mr./Mrs. boxes to tick...)
Once again proving my point that if only so-called conservatives actually step up and make some reforms in a smart and calculated way, we wouldn't have liberals doing it with such disregard for traditional values and society on the whole. Usually the liberal Democrats shut out any reforms from Republicans until they get the power, at which point the "Republicans" abandon their principles for the sake of faux-bi-partisanship, while still being smeared as the bad guys.
Man Jailed Because Bad Economy Prevented Him from Finishing Home Repairs, Town Board EVIL
A Minnesota man was arrested and jailed after city leaders determined he had not finished installing siding on his house.My blood is searing with rage as I write this. Can you imagine despotic city leaders throwing a man in jail for two days with no bail, and giving him a 1,000 dollar fine when he can't even pay to finish repairs on his home? Is this the feudal system again? Do we exist merely to serve Kings?
Mitch Faber, of Burnsville, MN, was charged with “having an unfinished exterior,” according to court documents obtained by Fox News. He was ultimately sentenced to 30 days in jail but was given the opportunity to serve his sentence at home by wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet.
The judge did not sympathize with the fact that he's not had summer work or done very well over the last three years (when who was president?), and sentenced him to 30 days (on top of the 2 he served shackled in prison) under house arrest with an ankle monitor. He waived the fine. How big of him.
Neighbors complained--though they certainly have no concept of what it means to be a neighbor or perhaps they would've helped him finish repairs to his house instead of gettings favors from their apparent friends in power.
Of course, charity is being outlawed in America. I'm sure I'll get into Mayor Bloomberg's banning of food donations in NYC to kitchens and shelters out of "concern for their health". "No fatty or salty foods," proclaims the food police. That rich disgrace has no sense of what it means to suffer under his and others unamerican policies. Last week, I saw a poor, homeless Vet walking--no, TRUDGING along, and I tell you, Bloomberg, how dare you deny charitable donations in the United States of America!
