A cow can't produce milk until she has had a calf. Lelia to Editor Lasthck’sArliclcs Dear Editor: I note in last week’s Hinton News that Delegates John O’Neal and Roy Cooper have written their constituents that restoring Religious Freedom” is a major concern to argue for in this session of the legislature. I find it strange that neither of them in separate articles offer a single instance in West Virginia of where anyone’s “Religious Freedom” has been compromised. The specter is more one of fearfulness than reality. For years some conservatives unconcerned with individual liberties have insisted that the institution of marriage would be destroyed by allowing homosexuals to practice it. Obviously quite a few gays were not ashamed of their natures and wanted to celebrate their partnerships and have them acknowledged publically. Has a single heterosexual marriage been broken up by this change? When it comes to commercial transactions, I think straight and gay people need to be considerate. In a couple decades of running a retail business, I had customers with bumper stickers all across the spectrum. I did not need to judge their politics or preferences to appreciate their shopping at my place. People conspicuously unconventional would be wise to respect their hosts. Likewise in the other direction. As far as this session of the legislature goes, I cannot believe these representatives have that much more to focus on than balancing the budget. With severance taxes waning, the projected deficit is over $350 million dollars. Nobody likes to raise taxes and nobody enjoys cutting essential services—basically all the state government does. So let’s get serious here, boys. According to the Republican editorial board of the Charleston Daily Mail, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is “a solution in‘ search of a problem”. I see a new picture of a Summers County church every week I open the paper. Has any place of worship suffered any discrimination or intrusion? Stop casting up straw men to relieve old anxieties and get to work governing in a challenging economic time. Blaming Obama and climate change for the decline of 'coal is neither honest nor productive—akin to blaming homosexuals for the high rate of heterosexual divorce. Face up to the realities of our time.
