All Aboard the Logic Train….

It is odd that when a politician chooses a platform or position on something logic is often tossed out the window. This is never more prevalent then on ethical issues that tend to infringe on a person’s religious beliefs. On Tuesday, Americans will not only elect a president, we will vote on a host of other issues (most of which impact our lives much more directly than the President). Voting Ohioans will also get to choose whether or not to validate “Issue One” or “The Sanctity of Marriage Bill”.

Now even though I oppose this bill, there are some logical arguments that support it (one of them being if Gay marriage is permitted won’t polygamy also have to be allowed and wouldn’t all beneficial tax credits have to be extended to them as well? [Obviously, the logical rebuttal is “why don’t we abolish marriage related tax credits?”]). However, the politician that is spearheading this bill approaches it in a horribly illogical fashion. He makes it seem that the population of Ohio, nay, the population of the universe depends on “Issue One” passing, because when gay marriage is permitted we will no longer reproduce as a species. Obviously said politician thinks that as soon as gay marriage is permitted every straight man in existence is going to jump on the corn hole conga and every heterosexual woman is going to fall to all four and begin hovering some carpet. The truth is that gay marriage is only going to effect one group of people…homosexuals.

These ridiculous lapses in logic seem to be prevalent very often in politics, no matter what country you live in. The horrifying thing is that the public seems to latch onto these opinions far too often.
