Stephen Harper's Crusade to Save Marriage.

My mother used to recite a verse that ran, something like this;

I have never seen a purple cow
and I hope I never see one
but, this I will say anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

I can imagine Stephen Harper trying to say this about gays and lesbians. He would rather have us just disappear so he would not have to face the implications of the last line. Most studies conclude that the most strident homophobes are some way in touch with their own gay potential. Could it be that Stephen Harper has had some kind of experience that underlies his fear of what gay marriage means? I don't think so. But one wonders since he is so desperately trying to wed the religious and civil aspects of our national life. If he were successful, then perchance, he might have to face polygamy. Polygamy after all has its strongest adherents in the religious community. Polygamy is, after all, scriptural.....

So it is only natural that the religious Mr. Harper is thinking about the possiblity of polygamy. Our worst fears are manifested somtimes in our dreams, so I wonder what Mr. Harper will think of next in his crusade to uphold the tradition of heterosexual marriage. It is commonly known how well the straight population have maintained the sanctity of marriage with their low rates of divorce, non-existent adultery and re-marriage. Then, there, is the Roman catholic church which is a paragon of sexual virtue; just ask the hundreds of sexual abuse victims about the "morality" of the church. The world will never cease to offer comments and situations to amuse the common observer.
