Lunacy in the Third World, too.

Now then.
The South African courts are considering changing the law to recognise different kinds of relationships, including same-sex marriages--unlike the monstrosities in Zimbabwe and Namibia. With our history, it's unthinkable that any form of residual discrimation could be allowed to linger. South Africa is rightly proud of a wonderful constitution.
No, fine.
And tonight on the main news? A coalition of 40 churches have got together, apparently representing 18 million people, to petition the constitutional court not to enact that legislation.
It would, and I quote; "...destroy the institution of marriage and threaten democracy in South Africa." Thus spake Dr. Michael Cassidy, a highly-respected theologian-an avuncular character not dissimilar to your friend and mine, Dr(?)James Dobson.
The bollocks migrate it seems. I would guess that they don't stand a snowball's chance in hell, but I guess I'd better start making a fuss too.
