Caveat Emptor...

Buyer, beware!

The recent decision in California of a single judge to negate the voice of the majority of the state's voting population - and a large majority, at that - should ring alarm bells inside the head of every person who hears of it!

What? you say.  Even those homosexuals who are longing to enter into the "holy order of matrimony" should worry?

Absolutely.  And Joe Biden said it best in a speech on the floor of the US Senate years ago, when Republicans controlled both houses of congress.  He warned that, while the Republicans were in the majority then, they would not be always and they should watch what they do and how they do it.

You see, today it was a "progressive" judge whose personal bias informed his decision to invalidate due process and constitutionality.  It was a big "win" for progressive people and for those who are sympathetic to the cause of homosexual marriage.

But tomorrow it may be a "conservative" judge, a "biggoted" judge, or a "Christian" judge on the bench.  And the issue may be the environment or immigration or some other cause that fires the imagination and stirs the secular-progressive heart.  He - it will certainly be a late-middle-aged white man - may decide that he has seen enough of those Jesus-haters who, like ancient pagans, worship Mother Earth and make a daily sacrifice to her of the prosperous life and hard work of Americans. 

And just as easily, that judge might rule that to restrict commerce and to confiscate the wealth of hard workers is a flagrant violation of the Constitutional principles on which this great - if flawed - nation was founded.  He may feel that reducing the standard of living in America to the equivalent of that of Cambodia is wrong.  He may strike down environmental laws.

The fact that our children have learned the religion of Earth for three generations will be irrelevant.  The fact that most of the people in America believe in the sanctity of Earth will be ignored.  Even if the people vote to make a law or to amend the Constitution to define goodness toward Earth, they will be powerless to protect Her.

Always, always, always remember that a sword will cut both ways. 

Much along the line of a popular anti-gun talking point that claims you should not carry a gun for self-defense because you are more likely to have it taken from you and used against you than you are to stop an attack, secular-progressives and ultra-traditionalists alike should be very concerned with this ruling.
