Here I Stand

You'd think that I'd be in the thick of things right now, what with a blog devoted to medicine and gaiety.

Well, maybe.

Health care reform. If health care changes, if health care stays the same, am I going to want to be a doctor any less? No.
Gay marriage. If gay marriage is allowed, if gay marriage is denied, am I going to stop being gay? No.

Sure I have opinions. Sure, when I feel strongly about something, or want to communicate something, I'll post it. But too much of the debates I've seen, on the "news" and online, are centered around minutiae or misunderstandings. The Christian Bible does not say that marriage is between a man and a woman. The health care reform is not a system bent on euthanizing old people. No, I'm sorry, there are no bases for those arguments, and so I won't acknowledge them.

Maybe that makes me sound weaker. Maybe I should be shouting back at stupid people. But I think if I approach things logically and emotionally, that's the best way to get anything done.

Thanks, Married to the Sea.
