Perspective

How is marital union legally defined? It's traditional definition and most widely accepted view of marriage is the legal union between a man and a woman. Conservatives point to biblical references to support the position that only the union between a man and a woman should be recognized by our culture as a valid marital contract. Is failing to recognize the marriage between homosexual couples in violation of their civil right?

Are the men and women we are selecting to serve and protect our rights and communities increasingly abusing their authority? How many times have we turned on the t.v., or read a story on the internet proposing an allegation of police brutality? Are officers accused of abuse being appropriately disciplined? Is the discipline distributed in these cases sending a positive or negative message to the public?
