Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

Marriage A Right To Pursue Happiness Issue

Marriage is an important relationship to our culture as violent crime increases dramatically as the rate of marriage decreases. This is the best argument for homosexual marriages though I question whether you can apply the data of heterosexual marriages to marriage formed based on an immoral concept.

Now here is an article that rates the happiness of individuals compared with the type of relationship they are in and no one should really be surprised at the results. Their conclusion that having a romantic relationship made both men and women more happier overall and the more committed the relationship the happier the individuals. It seems strange that the sexual freedom boasted of by the sexual revolution of the left is more oppressive to human being than the marital fidelity urged by the religious right. For those who are in doubt the religious right includes Christians, Jews, Moslems, and any other religion including Atheist that cleave to the ideal to love your neighbor as yourself.

The study found that as the relationship became more committed the happiness grew but that individuals with least happiness were the more likely to pursue greater happiness by moving into committed relationships, It sounds like these scientist are saying abstinence before marriage is the best policy. Pro choicers must really hate them for that.

Another discovery they made is that even in a marriage that is not particularly happy both the husband and wife have a greater feeling of well being, greater life satisfaction, and less stress when compared to those in cohabitating and other relationship situations. The study hypothesis is this may because of marriage's stability, commitment and social status. Hypothetically those emotional improvements would lead to a lower level of crime which certainly seems to be the case.

I heard a talk given one time where there was a statistical relationship which showed the strength of a relationship as equal to a pair of two by fours being placed next to each other while framing a house and how their being next to each other doubled the support at that location. The interesting point was made as he explained that when the two by fours were nailed together, as compared to a marraige as opposed to simply a relationship, that the strength increased 4 fold. There is a commitment level expressed through the vows taken that far surpass the idea of simply living together.
