Neutral Equality

Not much I want to blog at this time right now. Still trying to digest the week maybe. But there is one thing that I have to comment on, but it will upset the general public. That topic being the same sex marriage that is on every news channel today. First of all, I don't get it!!! Now we have to be P.C. about marriage by saying that it is a gender neutral marriage. What the heck? I've seen the the news and reason behind the same sex marriage topic. But could it be that this is where the liberals became too liberal? You can say rights of human, freedom of expression, equality, etc.... whatever that the coin phrase we use to say hey lets have and work on totalitarianism and then utopia. But really, why bother with this? Where is the boundary? Do anyone see the long term effects of this? Is there a gender neutral dress room that I can go when I need to try on clothes? Or an equal house that I can go into anytime I want to walk through a house? Or a gender neutral bathroom that I can pee, leave the lid up and hit on the person in the next stall? Better yet is there a gender neutral way for me to say it is that time of the month? Yes it is absurd. I think separation and differences exist possibly for a reason and serve a purpose. Somehow people thinks it is a negative thing. We don't have to look at a culture or even a specific religion to understand. If you just look at it, we are all governed by the natural law or law of nature (religious connotation). Even the word and act of law sets, define, and limits. There are limits, boundaries, and categories that makes life good. I don't think people should intrude or copy, instead they should innovate with the new if they want to make a statement. If you want something, start something for you, but don't go into someone else's world and try to enforce your opinion and belief. History already taught us that wars, deaths, alienation, poverty, and anything you can think of started with the idea that we should impose upon our belief.

On the economic side. Having a gender neutral marriage is going to hurt the economy and it will have a ripple effect that people have yet considered. Cost of health care will rise and increase even so more as we age. Company will have to consider how they need to assess the cost of having an employee. Now all the benefit payments they have will increase and cost per employee unit just got higher today. Yes, they measure this in human resource. Taxes may need to be hiked and adjusted. Really? How so? Just speaking for the company in the US, it makes sense to hire oversea labor because today they just became that much cheaper. Just think about the ripple. Start from the business, then to the politics, then to the laws, then to the finances, the taxes, and then finally to the homes. What changes and adjustment will come of this? I come to wonder if the benefit really out weight the cost for the change in definition of marriage that happened today? Is this about economics? Man where is my gender neutral marriage person?

Closing comment. I love the bay area. I have many things that I love about the people here and the diversity it brings. The opportunity to express and to just work on the acceptance of difference people. Part of that acceptance is first identify that there are differences. Then the true acceptance really form. With all that freedom in this place, also comes control and perseverance. I am sad to think that with a location that is filled with so many smart people per square mile, we can at time makes the dumbest choices. There were other place like bay area and they became history. Maybe the bay area needs to just be a little less bay area sometimes and start to see how life really is outside of the bay area. Harmony does not come from looking the other way, but instead it comes from looking at the differences and then realize the beauty that the differences bring.
