I cannot believe you, the editor, are making a pitch for same sex marriage to increase the tax base in New York state.

And for the editor to encourage everyone, that because everyone else is doing it #- we should! What kind of logic is that! Wrong is wrong, no matter how many people say it is not.

Do you or anyone have any idea that each of us who support or defend this same sex marriage, or other issues, are chipping away from the moral fiber of our country and persons?

I won't prolong this letter, but if you want to increase our tax base, why not legalize prostitution? Think of the millions we can generate with this. How about pornography? That is a big seller!

I do not care if the governor of our state or the leader of our nation or the editor of this newspaper pushes for this or any other (so-called) law. There is a higher code. It is called moral law, which supersedes all other laws and which the civil law is based on. Have we forgotten this?

My goodness, where will this end?
