No, I don't think it is right. But I also don't think the government should "do something" about it.

Not every wrong in life can be remedied by Big Guvment.

I agree. The government has no right trying to shove their standard of morality down our throats. For one, where do we draw the line? Just Who gets to decide what's immoral or moral? What's next: banning tight pants, mini-skirts (LOL), etc?

This is why I've now decided that the government has no authority on the gay marriage issue and should let each state and the people thereof determine what social contracts they will honor.

But if it is improper for the government to determine moral behaviour, then how we can justify trying to outlaw abortion, or euthanasia or cloning? I can't imagine the founding fathers would ever support this federal leviathan reaching it's tentacles into every minute area of our lives.

This has further led me to reflect on 9/11. For one thing, if murdering unborns is okay, how we can say it is wrong for what the hijackers did? People should be able to express themselves throught political violence at their own discretion. This is another example of the government trying to outlaw free speech. Although, you might think it is immoral to take the lives of thousands of "innocents", the hijackers acted based upon their religion and for very "moral" reasons. Therefore the war on terror should be immediately halted.

And not only the war on terror, but the entire military should be disarmed. Let the people of each state form citizen militias and defend themselves against any threat. The government has no business inserting it's nose in these domestic concerns and moral decisions about when life begins and who can take it.

Furthermore, errr... what do we even need a government for anyway?

Laugh if you must... but I for one have the distinct pleasure of being consistent.

Cool! See... my message of anarchy is already producing converts. Maybe I will qualify for federal matching funds? Just have to figure out a way of justifying that as a proper role for a government that I don't think should exist? Hmmm...
