Most people don’t realize it, but same-sex “marriage” is banned in some areas of the country. It is not allowed because the residents are against it. They claim it is contrary to their culture. It seems strange that the criteria that apply to this one group of American citizens are invalid for others. Unlike the … Read more

When a ship has a major leak, either the captain fixes the leak or saving the vessel becomes an exercise in futility. The water comes rushing in while the crew bails out the water.

Even the most casual American observers were struck by the inappropriateness of it all.
