Jordon is right...we *must* teach our children morality. It is only right to do so. Otherwise, they will grow up in a moral vacuum, bereft of knowledge of how to behave properly.

Of course, this needs to be *my* personal morality that we're teaching them, as I alone hold the keys to right, Truth and all that other stuff...so the rest of you buggers can jolly well go boink yourselves.

Well frankly speaking I know plenty of kids who could be described as moral vacuums who no one would want to touch with a twenty foot pole. They don't have to be copies of the 50's but if they clash too overtly with the current standard they wont get very far. Most professionals dont have the time or patience to deal with poorly raised kids, they just move onto the next one in line. Our lab recently fired a student who constantly pestered the rest of us with adds for his 'current issues' class. Shows that you don't have to be a goth to rub people the wrong way, just couldn't keep things were they belong.

"Plaintiffs have not persuaded us that this long-accepted restriction is a wholly irrational one, based solely on ignorance and prejudice against homosexuals."

Maybe if

A.) People like YOU weren't so damn bigoted, they wouldnt have to fight to have equal rights

B.) People would give them the equal rights they deserve, people wouldnt need to be taught that gay people are people too.

Dont fret. There are higher courts to decide this again. Probably.

What? it's pretty simple logic. If gay people were treated the same as straight people, they wouldnt have to fight for their rights.
