Slippery slope or society’s free fall?

I wrote briefly the other day about the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision to let more than two people be on a birth certificate and that this is the continuing slippery slope which began when Paul Martin and the Liberals decided to run gangbusters with the judicial activists and launch the social experiment of redefining marriage.

The blog Joanne’s Journey disagrees with my sentiment about the slippery slope. She instead calls it a free fall and after reading her assessment I tend to agree. While I can appreciate the romantic notions of all this, to believe as one commentator at Joanne’s site did, “that this is a much ado about nothing”, is indeed shortsighted. Where’s the line? At what point do you draw it and can you even draw it given the precedent set? I don’t think anything is going to change and this all will continue pretty much unabated but to say with a straight face that redefining family into whatever one desires has no negative impact on children or society is incredibly irresponsible.

Remain in your seat as Joanne wrote? How about fasten your seatbelt? It’s going to be a bumpy ride unless some decision makers actually step back and take a sober look at this.
