He\u2019s not really arguing against it, but he is pointing to a problem with modern discourse. \u00a0Alas, the style of argument is not confined to the realm of gay marriage, or any particular topic for that matter. \u00a0Truth be told, nowadays, we\u2019ll go to the mattresses over the type of Spock ears that look the best. \u00a0Don\u2019t know why, perhaps it\u2019s because we have higher levels of education, and therefore assume that because we took two\u00a0semesters\u00a0of Western Civ. 100 and 101 we\u2019re therefore the undisputed champs of historical insight, and anyone who disagrees must be idiots or evil. \u00a0Perhaps it\u2019s an excuse. \u00a0Maybe we know this level of \u2018anyone who sees things different is evil\u2019 is bogus, and it\u2019s just a lazy, easy way to shut down debate. \u00a0But it comes so natural, about so many things, it\u2019s easy to believe we\u2019ve actually come to a point where it won\u2019t be long before the government is called in to formally punish wrong-thinkers as\u00a0defined\u00a0by me. \u00a0I wish Fr.
