Maybe I Shouldn't Watch Television

Last night I was watching television and a talk show host was speaking out about our elected officials,the leadership we have in congress. They show themselves to be incompetent and out of touch with their constituents. They bicker like children on a play ground making accusations against the opposing party. Nahh! Nahh Nahh, they are not doing this or they have done that. In the mean time our nation and it's economy is in great peril. We have become surrounded by enemies that are chipping away at our power, our way of life. If history is any example we as a nation won't survive this onslaught much longer. The prophets of doom will be proven right.

It has been said that our leaders are a reflection of ourselves. To tell you the truth I don't like what I see in that reflection. I no longer see the type of character that made our nation great. We have become spineless and greedy. Forget the idea of morality. In fact I don't think we even know the definition of that word. And family values has become nothing more than a sound bites for the politicians. Hell we no longer even have a clear definition of what constitutes a family. Take for example the concept of Gay Marriage some are in favor of it and at this point in time many are opposed to it. I'm thinking that with heterosexuals opting to live together outside of marriage the divorce lawyers will need a new source of business. Answer Gay marriage. Let's face it homosexual unions have a greater break up rate. Already the first gay couple to be married in Massachusetts just about two years ago are seeking a divorce.

There are many arguments for and against homosexual marriages. Where did the concept of marriage come from? Did it just evolve? Did some guru up on top of some mountain decide that it was best for man to go against his desire for multiple partners? If marriage is the creation of man then man has a right to define it any way he wants to. It can evolve to take in the latest fads. This is of course assuming that there is no Creator who gave us the concept of marriage and defines it as a union between a man and a woman.
