Threes a Crowd Ethics 01B
It was bound to happen, but I always thought that Utah would be the place that legalized polygamy, not the Netherlands. But, as Belgian journalist Paul Belien has been pointing out, Belgium and the Netherlands are, at least so far as corruption and degeneracy are concerned, the Wests cutting-edge. His new book, A Throne in Brussels, is one of the most important political books of the past five years.
Beliens BENELUX nightmare is coming true on schedule. Belgium and the Netherlands, which were the first countries to give marriage rights to homosexuals, will soon be enjoying one of the fruits of their culturally enriching Muslim populations: polygamy. On his excellent website, The Brussels Journal, he reports on the case of First Trio Married in Netherlands. One Victor de Bruijn, has married two sisters in a civil service that while not quite marriage is close enough for Dutch government work. To give a sharper point to their mockery, the sisters, both practicing bisexuals, are gussied up in the traditional white lace. Victor, however, says he is one hundred per cent heterosexual and insists the threesome will be taking their marriage obligations seriously. Wait till Bianca or Mirjam introduce their pet potbellied pig.
Well, who cares? Isnt marriage a contract between consenting adults, and after all, as we have been told by every liberal since J.S. Mill, what two people do in the privacy of their own home is none of anyone elses business. How many errors do you spot in this argument?

So we came to approve as a society of birth control, pornography, abortion, homosexuality and now the redefinition of marriage.
Stay tuned while today's live and let live liberals become tomorrow's "But-we-didn't-mean-THIS!" extreme right wingers. Too late, you carried the torch when it was your time and well, we all know that you can't turn the clock back or get the Jinnee back into the bottle. Believe it or not, we've heard it before.
"This is not what we intended" ought to be emblazoned in latin on an official coat of arms for liberals everywhere.
It's like the Living Constitution. If the words on the paper mean something, then it makes sense to have a written constitution. But, if we find penumbras, and start interpreting the document with a view toward current sensibilities, then the written words contribute very little (they start getting in the way of where certain people want to go), and we might as well tear up the document and just go with what we feel at the moment.
A Throne in Brussels
by Paul Belien
As long as Maury Povich and Jerry Springer are around, there will always be a market for a lack of personal integrity and personal responsibility.
Or maybe it's the other way around.

Quite normal there.........
Really. Some 30-33 years ago, Povich was a big local news/talkshow character on the local Washington DC (WTTG) TV station. He was a typical late sixties/early seventies liberal. He never got out of that rut. I could tolerate him back then, but not now. My "moderate" Democratism died in 1978 when Jimmuh Cahhhter (a total disgrace to the South, the scalawag) started screwing over Israel; the Iranian mess a year later did me in for him and all Dems (except Zell Miller).
