GAY MARRIAGE TO BE FORCED ON MASSACHUSETTS
The Massachusetts Supreme Court has decided that people of the same sex can marry, saying "The history of our nation has demonstrated that separate is seldom, if ever, equal." Do they really want to open this up to what the history of our nation has demonstrated? How about the last 5,000 years of human history? If that's the standard, there can be no gay marriage, and their most certainly is no right to gay marriage in the Constitution and you can't graft one onto the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which were written by men who would have been horrified by the notion that the government should recognize marriage between people of the same sex.

Maybe they were wrong, like they were about slavery and women's suffrage. But these are questions that should be put to the people in a Democracy and not magically divined from dusty old documents. We amended these old instruments to end slavery and to allow women the right to vote. Governor Romney explains: "We've heard from the court, but not from the people. The people of Massachusetts should not be excluded from a decision as fundamental to our society as the definition of marriage."

Have we so divorced ourselves from both reality and democracy not to realize such basic principles?
