[last two paragraphs of Jennings' column]
Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, only. Even at its worst, marriage remains the best means for insuring society's continuation and success. Look what divorce hath wrought for our children. Homosexual unions last, on average, one year. God help the children of these passing unions. This piece will bring condemnation, hate mail, and the usual threats to my employer. But years from now, as we assess the degradation same-sex marriage will bring to society, I shall be able to say, "I tried."
The question is, will it bring even a scintilla of reasoned rebuttal from anyone who disagrees with its premises? These days, colloquy between gays and straights seems inevitably to be reduced to instant epithets if the latter have a single question or objection -- no matter how circumspectly raised and how amply supported by science, statistics, or Scripture -- about the lifestyles and legislative intentions of the former.
Welcome to FreeRepublic, Zender500.
Maybe there would be reasoned response if the article were written well enough to merit it. Using words like "hath"? Please. That's not even correct anymore. And the dramatic ending where she magically predicts the future. Wow. If I were her I would submit this to the school newspaper ASAP! The staff advisor probably needs to edit/correct it heavilly before it could be worthy of the "Gerber High Gazette".
