Here, Damian ... let me help you with that.


Damian Penny makes several good points, but his prose could still stand a little tweaking. How about:

A good argument for privatizing Canada Post marriage commissioners, or at least ending its monopoly on regular mail delivery formalizing marriages: members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers Marriage Commissioners, one of the most militantly left-wing right-wing unions in the country, appointing themselves postal marriage censors ...

The pamphlet notion of same-sex marriage certainly sounds disgusting, but it is the government's right to decide whether it should be criminalized as hate speech or banned from the mail legal, not postal workers marriage commissioners. On principle, I would not support such a move, but at least Members of Parliament have some democratic legitimacy. The members of CUPW Canada's batshit-crazy wankerhood are acting like, well, fundamentalists fundamentalists.

There we go ... much better. Isn't it amazing what a good copy editor can do?

OH, DEAR. Other Blogging Tories (and their commenters) just not quite drawing the parallels.

Bonus points if you can read past accusations of "self-appointed censors" without rolling your eyes and bursting into girlish giggles.

I just posted over a Kate's Place

Let's re-work Nemo's Post a bit.

'ALL carriers'? Any INDIVIDUAL carrier who refuses to perform the function for which she/he was hired, and for which she/he is paid, should be terminated..........jobwise, that is.

could very well read,...

'ALL Judges'? Any INDIVIDUAL Judge who refuses to perform the function for which she/he was hired, and for which she/he is paid, should be terminated..........jobwise, that is.

I wonder if it will welcomed as an excellent example of the daulality of their conmflicting position on this matter,... Hey it could happen,... ~snicker~
