Dunces, dunces
Dear Editor,
There was great ballyhoo and shouts of joy as Pat Quinn, governor of Illinois, (last evening), signed the "marriage equivalent act" for his state, and for future Lesbian and Homosexual voters, and as the governor held the signed document in the air as a sign of conquest for all the Lesbians and Homo-sexuals, the "dunces" below began kissing each other on the mouth in order to make their point that this was a "sexual union," not a "civil union." Meanwhile the King of dunces continued to wave in the air his white signed document from his throne above, urging on the sexual abnormality of the dunces below, as the camera zoomed in on each "mouthed kiss."
"All men are created equal" is the most abused and misunderstood statements handed down to us by our forefathers. and this is why we end up with "chaos" described above. There is an old saying that, opposites attract. And all good marriages can substantiate this. On the other hand, the same cannot be said for lesbian or homosexual; rather there is always something abnormal or unnatural about such a union. Our world is full of diversity and inequality; one of our monetary coins is stamped "e pluribus unum" (from many one).
There is but one way that we are all equal and that is that "'We are all children of God" and our last end is equally the same: we face four things at the end of this life: death, judgment, heaven or hell.
Finally a few words of warning from the great poet, Alexander Pope (1688-1744) -- a few lines from his The Dunciad "Education had become entangled in the pale of words": "scholarship dealt in fragments, not a meal," "criticism expended itself in minutiae, not concerned about how parts relate to parts. or these parts to the whole": "The new sciences, with their slogan, 'I meddle only in my sphere' were taking on the attributes of the narrow objects they pursued": "The new creeds were thrusting "some mechanic cause' into the Creator's place, or abandoning him altogether to 'make God man's image, and man the final Cause": "without a center, activity is only mobility without direction;" "without a One, the many fall apart": without a Word, a Logos, some constant standard of respective values, men are divided, not united, blinded, not illuminated by their private, atomistic un-creating words. (a final caveat to all public, and government figures):
Lo! The dread empire, Chaos! is restored;
Light dies before thy un-creating word:
Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall;
And Universal Darkness buries all.
Sincerely,
J.G. McHale
