The news

I am very happy to learn that Nebraska has abolished Capital Punishment. That ruling does go some way to restoring one's faith in humanity, as does the ground-breaking news that Eire has legalised same-sex marriage. Marriage is something that I would feel uncomfortable with, but it's not for me to say, and I certainly would not wish to deny anyone their right to happiness and to live their lives as they would wish. What possible harm is being done to mankind by people marrying their partners of whatever gender?
What does not inspire confidence are the stupid, fanatically emotional reactions to the news from various religious organisations. It's such a pity for mankind that some individuals and organisations preach such intolerance, rather than opening their eyes and looking, and seeing that we are all human beings.
