Nature Vs Government
By James Baxter
Q: "Can government validate what nature does not?"
The priority of ideas and behavior is what this disagreement is all about. The
rule of the mind - or its submission to carnal, unnatural priorities, appetites,
choices, and behavior - and their unhealthy consequences.
Nature, itself, invalidates homosexual actions for there
is neither mechanistic justification nor optional validation by consent under
the laws of nature. [Often referred to by some as "a Darwinian dead-end."] To
state otherwise is to give a perverse and simpleton voice to glands - not to
powers of reason and its implicit tools of criteria and standards; tools
which equip the human family with the ability to measure and anticipate
consequences and thereby avoid some choices and choose others conducive to the
healthy results of survival and progression.
The rule of the glands prioritizes such appetites at the expense of the kingdom
of the mind and its inevitable recession as evidenced in every society of
history past.
Should a branch of government attempt to validate what nature itself does not?
Does "government criteria" equip us with the wisdom of vision for future
generations? Lacking standards and their enablement, can we recognize - with
foresight - the regression of our environment as thinking/choicemaking beings?
Nature and History say, "No." Instead, we will become throw-back creatures of an
insatiable, grunting, lascivious, and unnatural conduct.
Can anyone doubt that homosexuals, even in defining
themselves primarily by their sexual appetite, reveal an unbalanced obsession
with the carnal rather than the mental? Such desires can and do distort
perception and judgment; principles and standards have minor or non- meaning for
a those whose decisions are dominated by physical appetites triggered by
glandular secretions -- not ideas.
In homosexuality, civilization rightly sees the threat of an anti-standards,
anti-mind, anti-survival perversion of human nature. Seen against the background
of history and nature, terms like "deviant,' "perverse," "weird," and
"aberrant," are not epithets, then, but appropriate descriptions of homosexual
behavior. Calling a homosexual "gay" is, in fact, an inhumane act, for it
substitutes a platitude for the first requirement of healing such psychological
cripples: objective recognition of their condition.
Additionally, many of today's psychiatrists have unscientifically finalized and
capitulated to an illness they have ignorantly misunderstood; mis-applying a
public confession of inadequacy and accomodation for sound diagnosis, treatment,
relief and cure. Recall that "True science knows No Final Answers - only
on-going questions."
Human experience is a kingdom of the mind and standards are its tools of measure
and foresight. The public has the right and the obligation to set those
standards and and to reject the abnormal and aberrant in the interest of
posterity. On the larger loom of history, the struggle we
are engaged in is but one more between the thoughtfully rational and civilized
and the carnal barbarian. Nature is speaking with its constant and
authoritative voice. Our temporary elected representatives would do well to pay
attention.
We will, as citizens, teachers, and parents, continue to be attentive to that
voice and maintain our transcendent support to 'the man of the mind' -- and of
the spirit.
