SOoooooo, after gay marriage is forced on Alabama, marriage will be in as good of condition as Alabama’s public schools?

I realize that’s provocative, but it’s an illustration of how the Road to Hell is often paved. Wallace was bad for opposing desegregation. His opponents, the supporters of desegregation, were good for supporting it. So far, so good. Those are probably perfectly reasonable moral judgments. The public schools have gone into the toilet since desegregation. Good intentions don’t always deliver their promised results.

Imagine the outcome when the stated goal is immoral on its face. Desegregation and rights for all people was at least a noble goal; is gay marriage even that? I’m sure most who support it do so because of “fairness” and “equality” and so forth. Others undoubtedly do so as a means of attacking our culture and institutions. Liberals can hate Wallace all they want (while sending their children to exclusive, private schools), but they never have to look at the results of their Utopian schemes.

I went to those schools in Alabama. The feds forced desegregation in 1963, and things were still in chaos when I started in the mid 70’s.

The intentions and motives were moral, no doubt...but the implementation was terrible.
