Does "anti-gay-marriage" = "anti-gay"?
Mr. Young’s errors, "sloppy eisigisis" really, concerning "a narrow interpretation of ancient scripture" require correction, since he is the one with the narrow interpretation. The Slavery in America until the Civil War is known as Man-Stealing and was expressly forbidden by the Bible (Ex21:16). The slavery of indentured servitude was tolerated by the Israelites, but with provisions to temper it, such as freeing the indentured slaves after 7 years (Lv25) – a thoroughly progressive view compared to the surrounding barbarians. Women were also valued, which is why in ancient Israel the dowry was paid for the women, not by the women as in the pagan world, and the marriage was not an exchange of goods or property, but a covenantal exchange of persons. Those "archaic rules about food" were actually changed for Christians by Jesus himself (Mk7:19), not "as the result of improved information and technology" as Young mistakenly asserted.
Jesus also taught on sexuality, not archaically but clearly; that the two, male and female, become one flesh in marriage (Mt19). Without clear Religious Liberty exemptions, the State will have to punish opposition to same-sex marriage as if it were racist. If the Massachusetts SJC’s declaration that same-sex marriage is a civil right stands, then there can be no Religious Liberty exemptions to it. It's already started with Catholic Charities in Boston and same-sex couple adoption. It will continue.

What's in the trash bin?
A public meeting will be held on this Parking Plan on Wed. January 17, 2007 at 5:30 PM in the Saxe Room, Worcester Public Library, 2 Salem Square. Please spread the word, and attend if you can.
Even though this is a Parking Plan review, ask them what's in the trash bin out back, or where do the fetuses go after the abortion, or can this block the sewers?
Help protect the little guy!

Gotham bull
April 9, 2006, the New York Times Sunday Magazine ran an anti-Pro-Life cover story by Jack Hitt claiming that a woman in El Salvador, Carmin Climaco, was serving a 30-year prison term for aborting her 18-week old 'fetus'. The problem was, Hitt never checked the court records; Climaco was guilty of infanticide of her full term baby, not abortion. A forensic examination showed that it was a full term normal delivery, the child was breathing at the time of birth, and the official cause of death was asphyxia by strangulation, according to the easily obtainable court records. Hat tip to Michelle Malkin on this story.
A retraction of this Pro-choice propaganda is clearly in order, and the NYT ombudsman, Byron Calame called for the NYT editorial board to do just that. But the Editorial board refuses. That says a lot about the truthiness of the New York Times. To paraphrase Twain, there's Lies, Damn Lies, and the New York Times.

We've argued here that this issue was initially about marriage (not homosexuality), but with the political machinations in Boston, this issue became about Constitutionality. The Constitution was upheld today.
