When the black swans come - will we know them in the present? Or only in history?

The fatal flaw is when a native population relies on foreigners to do the ‘dirty work,’ that should be done by the native citizenry.

Perhaps it’s just a different path that God has for civilisation, not the end?

Your tag line covers it and I use the saying more and more.

I was once told if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

A most interesting observation! This is precisely what has happened in several European countries. Now their Muslim populations are growing while the christian ranks rapidly shrink.

That is the most intellectual dissertation on this topic that I have read.

Thank you.

***Walker dismisses morality altogether as an insufficient basis for legislation.***

How might he apply this nonsense to the most immoral act of murder?

Civilization ended in the 60’s, I thought. Maybe even before.

THIS native citizenry has been doing the ‘dirty work,’ for a couple of decades yet, I have watched my personal income levels drop steadily due to the influx of cheaper labor.

I blame greed and lust for power both which are characteristics of either party currently residing within the beltway.

It turns out that the judge himself is a homosexual. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, another judge, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the trial, said, "He [Walker] has a private life and he doesn't conceal it, but doesn't think it is relevant to his decisions in any case, and he doesn't bring it to bear in any decisions."

Imagine this was a case about burglary, and we just change one word:

It turns out that the judge himself is a burglar. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, another judge, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the trial, said, "He [Walker] has a private life and he doesn't conceal it, but doesn't think it is relevant to his decisions in any case, and he doesn't bring it to bear in any decisions."

Wouldn't we recognize this as absurd? Sinners will always try to justify and rationalize their sin, so long as they refuse to repent.

Excellent example. Do you foresee his ruling being overturned by the Supreme Court?

Socially and morally, we’ll likely hit that Weimar momment, just prior to achieving it economically. Pretty darn soon I’d say.

If you think Tea Partiers are mad now, just wait til their churches lose tax-exempt status for not marrying homo’s.

Marriage is not a right, (legally) it is a construct of government.

Legislatures have decided to bestow a special legal class on the building block of our society - the family. A man and woman procreating and nurturing offspring. They called it “marriage”. This has nothing to do with religious ceremonies. If we were to truly have separation of powers, the judge in this case would be powerless to act as this is a legislative decision. The legislature of CA could extend “marriage” to any union they want - in the end they would be answerable to the electorate. Unlike this judge.

Homosexuals are not discriminated against - they are free to marry someone of the opposite gender.
