Welcome friends!
I wasn’t really intending to write much more on the topic of same sex marriage but I couldn’t help noticing a rather funny article in the paper recently so what the heck, I guess I can blow another post on it. The article was about the former New York Giants football player and Super Bowl hero, David Tyree, making a video explaining his opposition to gay marriage for the edification of voters in the state of New York, which is belatedly trying to reclaim its rightful place as a leader on civil rights issues by finally passing a bill approving same sex marriage. The main point of Mr. Tryee’s argument was that the bill’s passage would be “the beginning of our country sliding toward ... anarchy.” Yeah, I know, that sounds serious. I don’t think many people would look forward to sliding toward anarchy. (Well, OK, some people probably would, but I’m talking about sensible people.) Was this just conservative hyperbole or was Mr. Tyree being serious? If the latter, what sort of thought process would lead one to that conclusion?
OK, now I know what you’re thinking. Who really cares what some ex-jock has to say about it and why are you writing about it? ... Sorry but only selected archived (previous year) posts are currently available full text on this website. All posts including this one are available in my annual anthology ebook series available at the Amazon Kindle Bookstore for a nominal fee. Hey, we all need to make a buck somehow, right? If you find my timeless jewels of wisdom amusing or perhaps even amusingly irritating throw me a bone now and then. Thank you my friends!
