I blame it on the hippie, anti-war movement of the 1960’s. Remember the book “I’m OK, You’re OK?” That was the ultimate bible of moral relativism.

About the time the "Playboy philosophy" was gaining ground.

Anything goes - if it feels good do it.

“I blame it on the hippie, anti-war movement of the 1960’s. Remember the book “I’m OK, You’re OK?” That was the ultimate bible of moral relativism.”

I agree with you up to a point, but the work of Alfred Kinsey and the development of the birth control pill both preceded the hippies. Actually, the roaring 20s were one of the earlier signs that we were on the precipice of our downward moral spiral. All of it adds up to where we are now.

Maybe it’s too late to turn back, but we still need to act. I want to emerge from this with a clean conscience, if nothing else. Donate, if you can, to the Capitol Resource Center in Sacramento. (I am not from California, but it’s an important state, so I try to follow trends there.) Their street address is:
Capitol Resource Family Impact
660 J Street, Suite 250
Sacramento, CA 95814
Their web address is http://www.capitolresource.org/
They work on behalf of traditional families.

Here is more of their email:

The court’s decision cannot be appealed to the United States Supreme Court so we must overturn our state’s judicial activism at the ballot box. This November, we have the chance to reclaim our freedom and our power. In light of the California Supreme Court’s outrageous decision, it is essential that we place the traditional definition of marriage in our constitution.

It is vital that you join the Protect Marriage coalition and work to pass the marriage amendment initiative on the November ballot.

Here is how you can help:

1. Educate. Email all of your friends, tell church members, and make everyone you know aware of this outrageous court decision. Many people might not understand the ramifications of this decision. In 30 days, homosexuals will be legally married in this state. But citizens should not feel helpless-we have a ballot initiative to overturn the court’s decision.

2. Stay informed. Encourage everyone you know to join our email list so we can keep them up to date on the latest news regarding the family movement and the Protect Marriage campaign.

3. Donate. Volunteering for the campaign is important, but campaigns are also extremely expensive with all the advertising, printing and other expenses it takes to spread our message. But isn’t a $100 donation worth protecting marriage for our children, grandchildren and beyond? Isn’t a $50 donation worth overturning SB 777 to protect the innocence of our children in schools? Although it may be expensive, the outcome is priceless and necessary.

The homosexual campaign against Protect Marriage is already raising money to defeat our initiative. We estimate we will be outspent 10-1.

Our campaign will be a coalition of moms, dads, grandparents and others who want to preserve our values.
