I can just see the politically correct crowd wringing their hands in despair.

On the one hand, they're so quick to praise the Eskimos and Indians as being somehow being more spiritual, peaceful, and ecologically sensitive than Western man.

On the other hand, they can be so bloody backward and stupid on gender and sexuality issues. </ sarcasm>

Perversion trumps family everytime among libs - even the family of 'the poor dark-skinned people' they profess to care about. Their need to patronize the Inuit will fly out the window faster than their need to promote sin.

Amen! And let's get the US Congress and State Gov't to do likewise!!

Interesting. The Innuit are probably the closest thing on earth to "libertarians" yet even they believe certain limits should not be exceeded.

Simple, straightforward logic from simple, straightforward people.

The Inuit, explained Mr. Arreak, strongly oppose same-sex marriage because it violates survival through procreation

I understand their point, but how do they feel about 2 older people or infertile people getting married? This point of inconsistency has always niggled at me when the "marriage = procreation" argument is used.

Personally, I think the .gov should get the heck out of the marriage business, like AgThorn does, but that won't happen any time soon.

Exactly. Whitey liberal will exploit their plight when it suits their purpose, but easily criticize their attitudes on homosexuality, hunting, whaling, etc. The Inuits aren't too keen on Greenpeace and their ilk.

I've spent some time up in Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories. The Canadien guv'mint provides their housing for a small fee, and because of that, unemployment is sky high. They just have to meet that $32 a month and they're set.
