In regards to the column by Ross Nelson on March 7:
Don't you just miss the days before political correctness was the norm? You know, the good old days when you could be an ass and say anything you wanted to say and nobody cared. At least nobody as far as you were concerned. I miss them like a bad case of hemmoroids.
Nelson likens gay marriage to polygamy and incest. At the very worst, how does one compare a sour grape to a couple of rotten eggs?
Polygamy is logically, that is mathematically, an institution of inequality. We don't have a case of one equals one but rather of one fraction of one. Polygamy is usually indicative of personality or social disorders most commonly religious in nature. An extreme example was David Koresh. Are all cases of polygamy a matter of pathology? No. Some are just a case of people being more than half a bubble off plum.
As to incest, generational incest is nearly always indicative of personality disorders ranging from self-centered narcissim to the sociopathic sexual predator.

As to sibling and other close relationships, history has told us time and again the consequences of inbreeding. This type of incest usually occurs because of social isolation and or psychological inadequacies.
There is a story in the Bible about two daughters getting their father drunk so that he would have sex with them. Polygamy or incest? You call it. I, for one, have other things than gay marriages to be concerned about.
