Just thinking outloud

The whole of the equal thing. 


I guess to figure it out, you have to be a scientist or a doctor or a biologist and look inside the human body and see the cells and tissues and complicated structure that make a human being?
How can one decide, if person A has the same right as person B when it comes to choosing to commit to another A or B person for the rest of their life in a legal bond of marriage? or, for whatever the amount of time they wish to stay together, as I know, we all know the divorce rate is, what? about 40% of marriages end that way, so we are down to semantics now? It's the word? Marriage. We are summoning up the Supreme Court because we can't decide what the word 'marriage' should mean? Somehow, this makes me so tired.

It gets complicated because of a thing called the law. Is that right?

And yet, remains so simple because of a thing I call 'commonality in being' i.e. everyone's funny bone is a nerve. Strip away the outside and the inside contains a brain that is about 85% water? And we think we can, I rephrase, we think we have *the right* to decide such things, as who has the right to marry whom? Good grief. I need a drink.

So, since I cannot understand what all the hoopla is about in allowing marriage to be between two consenting adult human beings, I suppose I would have to start looking deeply into the law and what it states? How boring. But, I suppose necessary. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzz.
Let's see, up until now, we have amended our Constitution a few times, as I recall, and will most likely, have to continue to amend it, as we are ever changing. Like it or not, ever changing. Ever.Changing. (So. amend it. get on with it. people need jobs. idiots.)

Beyond that, I am lost. I mean, I - no, I'll be honest, I'm lost. If it was up to me, I'd be that parent with the teenager who is 17 1/2 and wants to do some big adult thing, like stay home while the family is away on vacation, and I'd be saying, "alright. alright. ALRIGHT! I am going to let you do this. But. you will be held accountable for anything that goes wrong. This is a chance for you to prove yourself and be the responsible person you are telling us you are." But, that's just me.
(I have been told that I am an authoritative parent as opposed to authoritarian. I like the way we parented. I always considered my children people of their own right. I had to protect them and teach them as much as I could, but they grow up and become their own person.)

I do realize that allowing this change, this 'law' or 'idea', will affect things in our society and some things, as we know them now, will change. But that doesn't really scare me. I can deal with that.
What scares me? Things like bombs, bullets, AK-47s in the hands of lunatics, and man's ego and desire to dominate other people's land, you know, stuff like that. Dumb presidents, ignorant politicians. Millions of dollars spent to kill people and then not taking care of the broken people when they come home, that kind of thing, scares me. Stupid people who make decisions like that, that scares me. I have a problem dealing with that.

Ok. So, I'm out here still wondering, why the big freakin' deal. Still. After all these years ...
Let people marry whom they wish. If you disagree with that statement, please let me know why you do. And, if you don't wish to write it here, please send me a PM. I am open to hearing why. I would like to understand.

I really feel like our country is wasting time here. And by the way, what do the Supreme Court Justices do when they are not in session? Do they have side jobs or anything? Or just get their pictures taken together?

So. oh well. That's it for now. I'm taking a coffee break. You all have a nice day. You have that right. I just know it in my soul. Marry the moment!! hahahaha. They can't stop you from doing that!!

tu tranquilo,
