The gay marriage debate is kind of a dead issue now in Canada, but not to Bill.

For some reason the weirdness of Canada&#xu2;019s enthusiastic embrace of gay marriage has stuck in my craw, and so I got warmed up by trying to write something brief about it. But the topic is so galling I failed miserably at keeping it short, and have ended up with about eight pages. I can only respond to the advice that blogs should be short by saying readers can make them as short as they wish by reading longer ones such as this in pieces, a bit each day, if desired.

Fred is worried that not having the best man for the job could mean little or no innovation.

Why do all these stories have poor women with children – with nary a mention of a father?  Where did these children come from?  Were all of them from artificial insemination?

Each of these millions of hidden faces has a different story to tell. But the simple truth is that none of these people has enough money to eat every day or live in a decent home.

I’m tired of the most important reason for poverty being overlooked: divorced families, with either locked-out or deadbeat dads.  A single family unit, with the father paying his share, would go a long way to eliminate “poverty”.
