If everything is marriage, then nothing is.<\/em><\/p>\n

Canada, you don\u2019t know the half of it. In mid-January, Canada was rocked by news that a Justice Department study had called for the decriminalization and regulation of polygamy. Actually, two government studies recommended decriminalizing polygamy. (Only one has been reported on.) And even that is only part of the story. Canadians, let me be brutally frank. You are being played for a bunch of fools by your legal-political elite. Your elites mumble a confusing jargon to your face to keep you from understanding what they really have in mind.<\/p>\n

Language Exam<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s try a little test. Translate the following phrases into English:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Canada needs to move \u201cbeyond conjugality.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Canada needs to \u201creconsider the continuing legal privileging of marriage and other conjugal relationships.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Once gay marriage is legalized, Canada will be able to \u201cconsider whether the legal privileges and burdens now assigned to marriage and other conjugal relationships can be justified.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Canada needs to question \u201cwhether conjugality is an appropriate marker for determining legal rights and obligations.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [Answers:<\/strong> The English translation of #1,# 2, and #4 is: \u201cCanada should abolish marriage.\u201d The translation of #3 is: \u201cOnce we legalize gay marriage, we can move on to the task of abolishing marriage itself.\u201d]<\/p>\n
