Dear Is Mise,

<<They are allowed by law to live together and to enjoy all the benefits of such a union.>>

Further even, no law prevents them from marrying each other. In fact no law prevents a brother and sister from marrying each other either. It's only that such marriage would not be recognised by the state - what's the big deal...

You have got to give it to the "Religious" in society, whilst loudly condemning the sexual activities of certain consenting members of the adult population, they condone by their own deceitful activity the sodomising of children by their own pedophile clergy! Hypocrisy for these people knows no bounds!

I'm still laughing, imagining Private Is Mise in his foxhole during the Boar War, suddenly being confronted by a Corporal Max Klinger type dressed in stilettos heels, and fishnet stockings, carrying a handbag instead of a gun.

"Normal means what is common to the majority in society."

I take it Is Mise, in your opinion hunting is abnormal activity, and you condemn the less than 2% of the population that participates in this deviate pastime. Those who wish to infringe the rights of the majority of the normal people by pursuing this reprehensible activity in our states national parks. I'm on side with you on that one.

Paul,

Quite right, I agree with you, hunting is not normal in that it is not engaged in by the majority.; however that is no excuse for you to attempt to denigrate our indigenous people who still hunt.
They are a minority group, just as are shooters and the Greens.

If hunting in National Parks is such a bad thing then why did David Shoebridge of the Greens vote for it?

Talk about hypocracy!!

Paul,
Corporal Klinger was a rampaging heterosexual who was always chasing the nurses like the rest of them, if I recall my M.A.S.H lore correctly in one episode he marries his sweetheart back in Michigan but it's a good analogy nonetheless. Klinger made a mockery of army regulations and traditions but was tolerated nonetheless, when the chips were down he was reliable but neither Colonels Blake nor Potter would give in to his demands or take the bait of his endless provocations, there's a lesson for politicians there. In every group there's going to be a Max Klinger and a Frank Burns, in a sane world there'd be a Colonel Potter to say a flat No! to their outrageous demands and Pierce and McIntyre to keep them in check with compassion and good humour.

Errata, Klinger was of course from Toledo Ohio...and I claim M.A.S.H as one of my all time favourite programmes LOL.

Jay 4.30am Foxtel Classics, never miss an episode, MASH a great anti-war show if ever there was one. Max Klinger, even made corporal.
