Change or no change?

Marsha,
It's the tired old argument that change will destroy the existing status
quo, and that will be bad for us all. But of course change is what advances
us, if we can call our current situation "advanced".
Those in power just love to beat us up with this idea that we must have
absolutes in order to make sense out of our existence.
What they forget is that they came into power on the back of change. What
they are really saying is that they like things the way they are, and they
don't tolerate change. To back up their claim to the idea that there are
absolute universal laws controlling our behavior, they invented a Supreme,
All-wise Being. And this God lays down the laws of the Universe, and we
shall not try to change them.
Anyway, I think the washing machine stopped and my fig leaves are ready for
the dryer. Cathy should be back soon. She went out to pick some new fruit
she noticed on a tree in the center of our Garden of Eden.

Hi Alice
This is a good point.
I have another point. I hope I can explain it well. I don't know if it
was on this list or somewhere else but here it is. The anti-same sex, yes I
agree it should just be marriage, but I had to say it here, say that this
will destroy the institution of marriage. Someone said it might actually
strengthen marriages. The reason for this is that people don't have to get
married in order to cover up their real feelings.
