What if a generally intelligent and law abiding person decides that he or she wants to go around naked in public? What if that person is joined by others who decide that this makes them feel good and natural? What if they believe there is nothing wrong about it? What if these people don’t want to harm or alarm anyone but simply want to express themselves and do what they think it natural for them? What if there are laws against indecent exposure? Who defined it as indecent in the first place? Isn’t it possible to get the laws changed so it is not considered indecent or illegal? What if initially such behavior does alarm others, but over time it becomes less alarming? What if the behavior results in health issues, but these are downplayed? What if these people are very vocal and want/demand social acceptance? What if they claim that they are being discriminated against by others who don’t accept their behavior? What if they insist that they have a right to go around without clothes as much as another has a right to wear clothes? What if they distort the concepts of freedom and human rights? What if they argue they are good people and better than some who wear clothes? What if these people make up 1% of the population or 10% of the population? What if they become so vocal, demanding and deceptive that they convince others in the 90% of the population that their behavior is acceptable or at least should not be illegal? What if the 90% does not include underage children who perhaps could be the most effected by say a teacher or a coach who shows up to work naked? What if at some time in your life you are asked for your view on this subject or another? What if you have an opportunity to comment to society about your understanding of the laws of God the Creator who made us and loves us and wants us to have His laws in our hearts because this is the best, healthiest, happiest way for mankind to exist? What if you seize the moment and express your view of the definition of marriage this November?
Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. (John Q. Adams)
We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. (John Q. Adams)
Let them revere nothing but religion, morality and liberty. (John Q. Adams)
The voter ballot argument against 8 says that there are 9 differences between domestic partnerships and marriage. So in all fairness I looked these up. The main website (which is a gay and lesbian site) stated that there are three main differences, but then went on to state only two.
1. to get a DP dissolved in California there are no residency requirements. to get a divorce recognized in CA one of the parties must live in CA for at least 6 months, etc.
2. marriage involves a license and two witnesses and some sort of ceremony. DP don’t involve these but only require both parties turn in a signed form.
So, these are the MAIN differences? It looks like it is really all about definition and social acceptance and no real rights
