Blame It On Gay Marriage… $1,000 Reward.

Blame It On Gay Marriage… $1,000 Reward.

The environmental policy is being dismantled, by a government in denial, while more and more evidence pours in about global warming (small things like hurricane Katina).

They cry about our dependency on foreign oil and mean while our cars are getting bigger and bigger and government isn’t don’t do anything to really improve gas mileage… their only suggested solution is go into our saving in pristine Alaska and use that up too.

Sort of like the family who can’t budget… then… blames the banks and the credit card companies for having spend their retirement account Hummer so they can look more macho than they feel.

And then what about the domestic problems, we are worried about the Mexicans coming up here and taking our jobs… while an at the same time… tons of higher paying jobs… the one Americans really want, are being shipped abroad without a word – when was the last time you called Microsoft or HP or AOL and didn’t get India?

And I keep hearing about more freedom, less government and less spending while what I see is less freedom, more government and we have gone from having a surplus to the biggest debt our nation has ever faced.

How about those tax cuts… but this is confusing because you to have a “True Tax Cut, you have to reduce spending… anything else is a tax re-distribution. If the government keeps spending more and the rich keep paying less, someone else ends up with the bill. Redistribution … it’s the middle class and the poor.

I am also told our government is at war on terror and yet that seams to be the only thing they are promoting… terror. I am much more afraid to travel abroad then ever. We are making enemies around the world at an alarming rate.

Now, at last, I come to the one thing almost all our current government officials can agree on… it’s the gays fault. We can’t even have them in the military or the most powerful fighting machine will fall apart (that’s a scary thought).

We can’t have them getting married or the institution of marriage will fall apart? These are incredibly powerful people, if all this is true, I say send a small group to Iraq and the terrorist will run in TERROR.

I have spent years as a communication coach, teaching in government, schools, prisons and to the public. And, not once, have I met anyone who has said thier marriage was great until those gays got married (or for that matter – started living together). No-one has told me they had a good job with great pay but when those gays got married, I just stopped going to work, started drinking the next day and before I knew it… I was beating the wife and insesting the kids.

Believe me, from my work in prison, I heard almost every story you can image and many you can’t, but I have never heard of a good relationship falling apart because of the gays getting married… so now it time to ask yourself and your government what really important…

Dear government officials – Kevin Lundberg, Marylyn Musgrave, President Bush, time to stop wasting tax payer dollar and your time and go to work solving real issues… but first let me put my money where my mouth is. I will personally pay a $1,000. donation to the charity of you choice if you can prove to a panel of experts (counselors and therapists) that any couple had a normal, healthy with good communication, had that relationship destroyed because some gays got married.

Clean water and air for the future, job in America worth having, energy prices we can afford, an foreign policy where the rest of the world doesn’t hate and it’s safe to travel, an education system that has funding and oh yeah what about health care and social security?

Are those things more important or do we want our government to focus all of it’s power, resources and your tax dollars on preventing gays from enjoying the frustration, upsets, heart-break and challenges of marriage the rest us suffer with?

Please, please, please... stop the stupid witch hunt and start leading us. Cause to expand our thinking, not contract it, create hope, possibility and inclusion, not fear and separation. Use your power to create a tomorrow our kids can be proud of... oh yeah.. I am not gay, just tired of the lies and accusations.
