While Republicans and Democrats are having a tug of war in defining "marriage," they have involved the government in a sacred religious ceremony, stepping into unconstitutional territory (6 min read).
Very well Written, so much so, it's painful at parts.
So...forgetting or setting aside how the R&D's might vote, or how the courts may adjudicate, let me ask you this...
Are you saying that Marriage is a Sacred Act/Bond/Commitment, that The State has no business dealing with in any form or fashion ?
I believe long ago, Marriage was always encouraged by The State, probably for its Natural stabilizing effects, & for processing Social Security & other benefits. I realize this issue is multifactorial, so an easy answer is difficult.
I believe proponents of same sex marriage brought up issues of SS death benefits to living "spouse" as well as health decisions at hospital concerning treatments allowed, etc.
It seems that The State has grown too large for our britches.
Top shelf essay. To add to the mix, this helps the population reduction program by decoupling (no pun intended) sexual acts from procreation. Also, Congress passes this while we watch our economy fall off the cliff. Dystopian.
Well done. If only the Congress cared as much about the national defense issue of securing our Southern border, (a definite, specific duty spelled out in the Constitution), as it does in unconstitutionally meddling in Americans lives.
Dr. Joseph Sansone has joined The (paying-portion) of The Substack Community. FINALLY !
As you probably already know, fellow Writer Jon Rappoport gave away for free his Work for 20+ years. Then joined Substack. For many years of Reading his Work, I couldn't understand why he gave it away, perhaps a simple generous heart who felt the emergency of the day & didn't want "money" to get in the way.
Nevertheless, I wish you consider & see YourSelf As A Valued Contributor. $50 bucks/year is a drop in the ocean. And we all know the time, energy, & personal costs you have to incur to produce & run your personal Substack.
You can still keep your cup of coffee brewing, but if you move to a yearly subscription investment, I'll happily sign up.
It is not how often or how much one writes, but the depth of content.
Having read Your Previous Works, I can easily say, you've reached that high water mark !
Yes, like the truth itself this is painful. After getting a new education in "Civics" in these past years I must ask if the people who believe they are in charge could possibly understand what a "marriage" between two human beings is? Just like with many things that are true they wouldn't recognize it if it hit them upside the head. "14 days to flatten curve." Don't know about you but I have some great bridges to sell. Mint condition. Check FaceBook.
Honestly...come on. Everyone of you know that marriage is spiritual. Especially, proving fidelity as an example. So what does man made paper have to do with it? Just a thought.
I have never been married--(in my fifth decade of life)--so I really don’t know what any legal benefits are, beyond what Paul said above (social security and healthcare decisions). Are there other benefits? Do married couples have tax breaks, for example?

Government shouldn’t be involved in a lot of things.
