Opinion: The Holocaust: that was a “Dust-Up” too, buddy!

Dear editor, I realize that the ultimate point of the ‘Dust-up’ section of your editorial page is not to enlighten anyone, but instead to create straw-man collisions of controversy in the hopes of hustling a couple of newspapers. Goebbels would have been truly grateful for the free publicity you would have provided for the Reich. I can see it now: ‘Jews: Too pushy for their own good?’ ‘Mormons: Polygamist freaks of nature?’ But I digress... Regarding the sad rant provided by the alleged leader of the ‘California Family Council’ (my stomach turns slightly as I typed this), as a taxpayer and homeowner with no criminal record, here is what I want: I want the removal of marriage from all laws immediately. As a homosexual, I don’t want ‘equality’ with non-homos because their structures and habits disgust and bore me. I don’t want them to have their ‘special rights’ anymore. Marriage should truly be for churches and other social structures, not government. We have enough people on planet earth and don’t need to reward people for blind procreation (just because ‘they can’) or marriage for that matter. We hear so much whining from the righteous ones about how their precious existences are somehow in jeopardy just because people like me breathe the same smog and drink the same polluted filth from the tap they do. In fact, they need to have all of their so-called ‘inalienable rights’ removed immediately so we can all taste the same bitterness. Every section of the tax and legal code that refers to married people in some kind of different light from the rest of us should be disconnected. Do away with legal marriage, divorce and sharing of assets. No more ‘special’ visitation rights at the hospital. No more tax breaks for dumping out more children, or for marrying in the first place. Nada, zippo, zilch. Marriage was a religious institution for millenia before all these ‘special interest’ groups got involved, and it should be returned to that status. Let’s deny them the ammunition for their bigotry today, not tomorrow. How interesting that so many of these wanna-be moral dictators talk out of one side of their mouths about doing away with big government, and out of the other when the privileges and breaks go their way and they want to maintain not parity but superiority. Pass the sick-bag! David BrownRenfrew PA
