PC madness
To marry a sheep
By Obadiah Shoher
The New Jersey’s court decision that permitted gay marriage has a political tint. Three Republican-appointed judges issued a deliberately inciting opinion that calls gay union a marriage. The idea was to convene the urgency of liberal threat to the basic values, and steer the voters to the Republicans.
The court decision contradicts other decisions, such as New Hampshire’s Blanchflower case which ruled that same-sex relations are not even sex. The New Jersey’s judges ignored a crucial point: just why the society offers benefits and privileges to families? Not because the families tend to have sex often – otherwise, extra-marital relations would be similarly protected. Not to encourage warm feelings – otherwise, companies of good old pals who spend evenings in pubs would be protected, too. Societies protect families for it is said, Be fruitful and multiply. Societies support families because families produce children who form the societies. That’s why single mothers are also supported. Unlike cabbage, same-sex pals do not reproduce, and cannot claim subsidies and tax cuts intended for families.
(Failure to understand the reason for subsidizing the families has only economic consequences for the US, but political for Israel. In Israel, we don’t want just more children – the habitable part of the country is already densely settled. We want more Jewish children. The politically correct Israeli government subsidizes Arab families which take full advantage of the Jewish checks, breed faster than the Jews, and continuously decrease the ratio of Jews in Israel.)
Gay couples are not oppressed; they do not receive benefits which were not intended for them in the first place. Bereft of children (and gays should be positively prohibited from adopting and debauching the children), gay unions produce no personal, inalienable rights. As such, gay unions need no statutory regulation like the institution of marriage; gays who wish to have sex on a regular basis could regulate their committed relationship via contract.
People are neither ethnic-, nor culture-blind. Xenophobia is a natural, necessary trait that builds the boundaries and cements societies. We do dislike people with alien habits; specifically, dis-like, do not like, rather than hate. Could we dislike those who engage in consensual sex with minors? With animals? With same-sex adults?
Non-reproductive incest is a private business. Societies have no reason to prohibit a father to have sex with his adult daughter. In the age of contraception, that sex is even not likely to produce and thus negatively affect the progeny. Civilized societies do not prohibit sex between mentally challenged people which may possibly produce mentally challenged progeny. By the same token, liberal societies cannot prohibit incestuous marriage. Yet they do.
Societal values are developed through centuries and myriad interactions. The values are neither explicable, nor formally provable. One option is to accept them as is, the other is to question them all. When questioned, the values always fail.
Apostle Paul famously struggled with the same problem: having abandoned the Jewish law, Paul was faced with the need to regulate his communities. He eventually developed a web of ad hoc ethical rules, arbitrary and no less restrictive than the Jewish law.
The fact that the ethics is indispensable but impossible to formalize opens us the way to oppose the leftists. Two millennia ago, the Sophists developed an approach that won them debates with philosophers who similarly to modern leftists tried to formalize the ethics. The Sophists logically extended the views of their opponents to the apparent absurdity.
If gay marriage is permitted, there is no formal reason to prohibit other non-conventional marriages. Why can’t a father marry his daughter? Why can’t three – or ten, for that matter – people enter into a marriage? Why can’t a person marry his lovely sheep?
The New Jersey’s court decided that people are equal, and so have the equal right to marriage. People are equal regardless of sex, but also regardless of number. Ten people are free to marry into one big happy family. A man is free to marry four women, or heck with the sharia – even ten women! A person who did not find a human soul mate is still equal to everyone else, and the society must protect his right to marriage – even to a dog. Homosexuality is ostensibly a natural urge, but so are zoophilia and necromania. Hey, we have a world of marriage opportunities!
Bizarre as that may sound, file the cases with your local court to marry your adult daughter, a few female pals, and a dog. Drive the leftist ideas over the edge. Let the formal justice face the consequences of its silliness.
