Legal Marriage?


A pop up from Newsmax appeared today and the question is : “should Gay Marriage be Legal”? Initially I was going to go to the site and vote but I realize that this a compilation type vote. I think that there should not be an issue on this as “common law marriage” has been accepted forever without specifying the gender. Why now should gender be involved, it is not a factor in the loving, caring and nurturing of people and children. The “gay Marriage ” issue has only become that because of the  publicity given it by opposing factions who cannot equate the love among people unless it is narrowed down to male and female. Remember all of us are “God’s” creations and who knows better than the Deity?

Opinionated


In my life’s trek, I have met many people who have opinions ands are opinionated. For clarity: an opinion is a belief based on what seems to be true or probable but not certainty.. Being Opinionated is an obstinately held belief regardless of truth or reality. I believe (opine) that many of  us younger than 40 years old cannot afford to be opinionated as they have not had enough life experience to earn it. Now with that in mind, there are many older people who do not qualify to be opinionated because they  while having life experience cannot or will not accept any new information that would change their opinion. Being human uniquely qualifies all of us to form and gather opinions but still retain the ability to alter that opinion as information becomes available, its called learning. So when we opine about religion, race, sex or politics there needs to be room for change in that opinion or we miss some of the fine points on the many subjects that appear before us in print or on the airwaves. This narrow focus is why we have the ineffectual Congress in modern times (past 30 years or so). Our Congress has offered and altered (when possible) opinions on important  issues to the point of confusion on what the issues really are. So to opine is great but leave the door open for change.
