PROP 8

We're voting Yes on Prop. 8.

Words mean things. We believe that "marriage" means the union of a man and a woman.

For those who want a longer answer, read on. But there's a twist at the end.

You will note that we came to our decision by more of an ontological route than you may be used to hearing.

Breeders?
We find it amusing that some of the most vocal no on 8 proponents refer derisively to male/female couples as "breeders."

Breeders? Yes, that's what we are and that's what we're supposed to be. That's why nature (or God, if you prefer) made us the way we're made. If we weren't supposed to breed, we'd all be male or all be female and we all would have died off millions of years ago.

Breeders are pro-life, i.e. they make life. They expand. They multiply. They are pro-nature.

All gay people had breeder parents. Their parents went forth and multiplied and that's why the gay people who now deride breeders even exist at all.

"Go forth and multiply" is written in nature
Millions of years before humans existed, and millions of years before the "go forth and multiply" command was written in the Bible, nature said go forth and multiply. And, it was said throughout all of existence. Nature has always said the same thing. It has never said, "don't go forth and don't multiply."

Not going forth and not multiplying leads to contraction rather than expansion. This is true on the cosmic level and on the human level. Contraction is anti-life. Expansion is pro-life. One need do no more than observe nature to see this.

One can be an atheist or agnostic
One can be an atheist or agnostic and still arrive at the same conclusion about going forth and multiplying as contained in the Bible.

What is life?
Life (remember, we're leaving out religious concepts) is the conversion of minerals into a form of existence that is self-replicating and which we now understand has expanded and has taken a trajectory leading from the first single cell, to life that has ever higher consciousness, awareness and intelligence.

In our species, the way we go forth and multiply--to make more life like us--is by the union of male and female. There is no other natural way. That's how we pass on "us." The code--the blueprint--for "us" is contained in our DNA.

23 + 23=46=Human life=survival and continued existence
Our DNA is formed into clumps called chromosomes that are in every cell in our body. Human beings have 46 chromosomes. The human male contributes 23 of his chromosomes and the human female contributes 23 of her chromosomes when they make a new life. On those 46 chromosomes are the 30,000 or so genes that are normal for humans and which make each of us, us.

When the 23 and the 23 join to make 46 chromosomes, there is a new human started that is designed to survive and carry the genes forward into the future. That's how one survives and continues to exist--even if there is no spiritual after life. We are our genes and our genes are us.

Nature's way is for us to breed and expand. Not doing that is, by definition, not natural.

Loving v. Virginia
We saw a comment written in support of gay marriage in which it was argued that the Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia, a landmark case that struck down miscegenation laws, should also be applied to gay marriage and thus allow gay marriage.

We find that a stretch because, in Loving, the Court wrote:

"Marriage is one of the basic civil rights of man, fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."

We focus on the phrase "fundamental to our very existence and survival," as the foundation upon which the Court's decision rests.

Those who support gay marriage should explain how homosexual marriage allows for our very existence and survival. It doesn't, and it can't, because existence and survival mean that we multiply ourselves as we discussed above. Gay marriage doesn't accomplish that. Wrong plumbing, as they say in the trade.

It'll take more than Loving
The proponents of gay marriage will probably have to do better than rely on Loving. (Hey, we didn't make this up. That's the family name of the couple involved).

Lawrence v. Texas
A stronger argument for gay marriage can probably be made with Lawrence v. Texas which struck down anti-sodomy laws. But even this is a stretch. (We won't bore you with all the details here, just read the case if you're interested).

Individual freedom
And, this leads some of us who believe in individual freedom to say this: We don't care what anyone does so long as they harm no others, but we see no reason to change the traditional definition of marriage and we believe that doing so will lead to contraction rather than expansion.

In other words, we believe in nature and life.

We argue in the alternative...we will also vote Yes to save Laguna Beach
On the other hand, it could be argued that if it is true that, as many gays now assert, homosexuality is genetic, then allowing gay marriage (and the normalization of homosexuality in society) will tend to have the effect of keeping gays from faking being straight and marrying people of the opposite sex and reproducing. Then, since they aren't reproducing the "gay genes," gays will eventually die off.

This, of course, will leave Laguna Beach partially depopulated and lower home values since demand will be down.

So, this gives us another reason to vote yes on Prop 8--to help save Laguna Beach!

ANOTHER 75 LET GO AT THE LA TIMES
Link

We have our fingers crossed that the almost daily Daily Pilot survives. Frankly, as we've written before, we think Sam Zell is grooming it for sale. But that's just a guess.

Zell would probably come out best if he completely broke bulk and sold the pieces for as much cash as possible. However, given the times, suitors will probably want a package and generous financing arrangements.

Those are our opinions. Thanks for reading them.
