Today we witnesses how a belief, that one's life savings will be their retirement nest egg, has been shattered by actions causing the dilution of the value of their assets. Many are calling the actions bringing about such decline as selfish greed, stealing, criminal and evil.

Now we are faced with the dilution of a belief, that is held and practiced by cultures throughout the natural world, that marriage is an investment, even an asset, as a sanctified union of a man and a woman into one. What name do we place on actions that dilute beliefs?

How can one support the dilution and devaluation of an institution who many hold in higher regard than money or their savings, who have come to believe that "for better and worse" as "man and wife" goes beyond mans law and is core to the progress of life in the natural world? How can one deny nature's design and purpose? Who dares claim that their solution is better than nature?

The argument of discrimination and civil rights is being used to promote the devaluation of marriage. That the benefits are being denied to same sex relations. That is a red herring argument as many states allow "reciprocal benefits" to those who live together in a same sex relation. With no denial of benefits, What can be driving those to want to steal a belief from others. Can it be an insatiable need to experience the joy of traditional marriages without the pain, challenges. Maybe its just simple greed.

Like many I choose not to sit as an idle spectator and watch a inviolable belief be stolen from the many that have invested their body, soul and spirit, to build value, tradition and honor in their marriage. How will these "traditionalists" react when another one of their assets loses value. One must wonder.
