Highways, nature and billboards

My letter to the N&R on this topic which appeared today was written and submitted, BEFORE the John Hammer column of last week which contained almost all the same logic. Mr. Hammer might just outscore Ed Cone on the Libertarian quiz.

Homosexual Marriage

In matters of grave import it is best to get the advice of your car mechanic. Mine is Leonard Hatcher of Leonard's Imports. Been taking my cars there now for over six years. He is far better than Click and Clack in my book. And, at something around 6' 6" its hard not to take him seriously.

While discussing a brake job on my car, Leonard, a good Christian gentleman, wanted to let me know that he thought it would be best if our state (he knows it's a states' rights issue) allowed homosexual marriages. He reasoned as follows:

"What makes a person a homosexual? Two men can go to the movies together, live together, vacation together and be in love with each other. No problem. To be homosexuals though they have to have sex with each other. Biblically speaking you only become a homosexual if you have sex with another man (or woman). All these people so upset about the idea of homosexual marriage should relize that the whole homosexual issue would be solved if we would just let these people marry each other...Then, after a few years of marriage, there would be no more homosexuals."

I have to admit, that's a pretty good twist on the idea that the term homosexual marriage is an oxymoron. I'm thinking I need to go back early for an oil change and get Leonard's insight on the war in Iraq as well.

If you have a Honda/Accura or Toyota/Lexus and want an extremely analytical and talented mechanic who is a real problem solver, I highly recommend Leonard's imports... On Walnut St. off West Market just east of Edwardia...the corner with Southern Firearms and Dedona Sound. Call 632-9008 for an appointment.
