Taking the time to write a Letter

I've been writing a lot of letters this past week. My mom always asks for mail when I go away so I am sending her one card a day. Hopefully she will start receiving them before I get home. Then the other day I wrote a letter to the editor of USA Today.

On Tuesday I saw a letter to the editor from a Mr. George who wrote in opposition to same sex marriages. (Isn't this issue put to bed yet? Apparently, only in Canada....pity.) Mr. George wrote that "God willing, same sex marriages will never be allowed to happen; gays want legalized marriage only so society will approve of their lifestyle and finally gay marriage could never be the same as heterosexual marriage.

My response, summarized:
1. Mr. George, God does not take sides. God is energy...God is love. Can you do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Can you love your neighbour?
2. Mr. George, gays do not need your approval.
3.Mr. George, gay marriage and heterosexual marriages ARE exactly the same. It's just the sex that's different.

I'm done with this issue, it is so yesterday. I pray Americans will see this is just another fight by another group for equality. USA Today reported that "white Anglo-Saxons" have just become the minority here in the states. 50.4% of all Americans are Asians, Hispanics etc. I think the rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" best be lived or white Anglo-Saxons may see what it feels like to be on the other end of the stick.

Pic.. Mexico...everything looked so perfect.
