VIa JMG: Schlafly: Gay Rights Violate Free Speech
"The polls are very defective. If you look at the polls, most of them ask the question: Are you in favor of banning same-sex marriage? Now, we have no law that bans same-sex marriage. Any gay couple can get married— all they have to do is find a preacher or justice of the peace who will perform the ceremony. There's no law against that. What they are demanding is that we respect them as being OK, and that's an interference with our free speech rights. There's no obligation that we have to respect something we think is morally wrong." - Phyllis Schlafly, who goes on to praise her "honorable" gay son for working with her at the Eagle Forum.

True Understanding
The
mind and the world are opposites, and vision arises where they meet.
When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside.
When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision.
And such understanding is true understanding.
