Love in not enough

I love you! I want to marry you! You’re my life and soul! Those words and feeling are the most amazing words and feelings that a person will have in their life. Some of you already know that feeling, and some of you will find out how it feels. Love is one of the most powerful feelings that a person can have. It can bring the strongest person in the world to their knees and make them a little crying baby or happy as child getting their first candy. Love will make a person act in ways that people would call crazy.

Shakespeare tried to define love in this poem: “Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved (Shakespeare, William). Even this great writer could only come close to the definition of love. I want you to think about love if you would as you read this paper. I would like your heart to read this paper not your head. I want you to imagine what I am going to tell as if you in these story. I want you to think what would you feel and what would you do. Also would you ever want anyone to feel that way in his or her life: your kids, mother, father, friend, or anyone in world.

     Now with that all being said, I am going to give you a scenario. You’re in Florida with person you love with all your heart and soul. They are the sun, the ocean, everything beautiful in your life. You are looking and thinking how you could not live without them. Then at that moment they collapse and you catch them in your arms. You have no clue why they collapsed. You are scared! You are holding them and you don’t know how to help them. Someone calls 911 for you because the only thing you can do is focus on holding them and looking into their eyes as they are going in and out of consciousness. You are feeling helpless inside. You’re lost! Then the ambulance shows up. You feel that it could be OK. You are thinking that they will take care of the person you love.

     You get into the ambulance and head to hospital. You are holding their hand and telling them everything will be OK. You will be next to them and when they awake you promise them you’d be there. Your heart is throbbing in excruciating pain. Now you arrive at the hospital. They take your love in and you go to front desk to give them all the information they need. Then you ask if they can tell you what is going on and if you can go in and see your love one. You know you want to hold them. The person at the front desk tells you “no, you cannot get any information and you cannot go into see them”. They tell you that you are not recognized as their immediate family. At this point you are lost because you cannot find out any information and cannot go into see your love. Your heart drops so far down that you do not know if you can live. Then when you think there can be no pain worse then this, you find out your love and soul has died and was calling for you right before they passed away. Close your eyes and take a second to think about how you feel. Then think about if you were watching your child having to deal with this right in front of your eyes and you can do nothing to help, but watch them be torn in pieces and get their heart ripped out of their chest. Do you think this has happened, and after reading this would you want anyone to go through this in life?

     The sad part is that it has happened, but worse their children could not see their dying mother: “Woman sues Miami hospital after being denied visitation of partner”

(Sun-Sentinel). I do not think that anyone would want people to suffer like that. It is hard for me to believe somebody would be that cruel to let that happen. Would you have the heart to deny them to their face and see their pain? How about if was your child? Then would you have heart to tell them no? Well when you vote no on marriage equality that is what you are doing. You are telling them that their pain does not matter. Oh by the way the Miami couple was lesbian.

People will give the Bible as the reason for saying no. Ask yourself what part of the Bible says it is wrong. Some people will come up with Leviticus, which is Old Testament law, and says nothing of women with women only with men. If you want to go by Old Testament law then why do you not follow all the laws from the Old Testament? Is it because it does not fit your life? Or you think the laws are wrong? Do you think they are out dated?  If you do not follow all the old laws but just one, is that right? I would call that cherry picking only what you want to follow. Is that right? Well I will not be able to answer that for you, but you should for yourself.

Also ask yourself what was marriage before today? Again people will say the Bible or history defines marriage as a man and women. If you read the history of marriage it has changed many times over the years. It depends what year you go back to as to what marriage is.  Women were bought and sold like livestock.  You could not marry outside your race. The Bible supports those laws too. Bible also supported slavery. Wikipedia says this “Marriage can be recognized by a state, an organization, a religious authority, a tribal group, a local community or peers. It is often viewed as a contract”(Wikipedia). So as you can see marriage is viewed differently by everyone. There is one thing out of the Bible that everyone should look at the same.

Jesus did not once say being gay was wrong. He did say in John 8:7 “and as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her”.” (Bible Hub). What do you think he meant by that? I think he meant not to judge anyone unless they are without sin. I do not know anyone without sin. That means we should not judge anyone whatsoever. That is what Jesus would want. He wants everyone to watch after one another and love one another. He was against hate of any kind. So if you really love Jesus be more like him.

Union

One of the great leaders of our time said it best about unions: “The American Labor Movement has consistently demonstrated its devotion to the public interest. It is, and has been, good for all America.”(John F. Kennedy). President Kennedy was right Unions are devoted to the public interest. They wanted working people to have a say in their working conditions. Unions want the working people to get fair pay and a safe place to work.

  Modern unions started out small in America in the 19^th Century. Between 1955 and 1960 membership peaked (Wikipedia). The unions only worked inside their own cities at one time. Then they learned that if they joined all the unions as one big union they would have more power to fight for labors’ rights. Unions transformed the workers to the middleclass of today. I saw the difference working non-union and union houses. After working non-union house and to a union house I saw how the workers were treated better in a union house. In the union houses they paid almost double my non-union wages. Plus they gave health benefits. Unions protect the union people from termination with out just cause. On the other corporations want none these just profit.

 Corporations want to make profit at all cost. “Generally speaking, major corporations prefer minimal pay and benefits for workers, a largely uncritical and powerless workforce and minimal taxes, as well as unlimited power for themselves, which they can then employ to influence elections and maximize profits”. (William Astore) Corporations want to make profit at all cost. That is their main goal. They do not like unions and do not want them. They say unions hurt job creation. They say unions are only out for themselves. Unions will take your dues and do nothing for you. This is the propaganda, corporations put out there to get you to think unions are bad.

The propaganda has worked for the most part, unions are weaker now then they have been scent the 60s. The weakening of the unions also weakens the middle class (see graph below). They are tied in to one. To destroy unions is to destroy the middle class. If you look at the start when unions slowly started to lose power in 1980s the wages started to slow down and not match inflation. The charts below show how weaken the union has affect Americans. The heights of union powered wages were much higher then inflation. In 1980 when the unions started to weaken, inflation started catch up to the middle class wages.

This chart compares the growth of inflation (red line) and real wages (blue line).Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

October 18, 2012)

Now inflation has passed the middle class wages because of the weaken of the unions. If you compare the two charts they match wages to inflation and the decline of the union membership. In 1980s Reagan push the war on Unions.

     If Reagan did not push the war on the unions in the 1980s our wages would still be higher than inflation. Reagan really pushed the war on the unions. He was on the side of corporations. He pushed for laws that hurt labor and unions. He also crushed the air traffic controls union. “Reagan's anti-labor policy: He attempted to lower the minimum wage for younger workers, ease the child labor and anti-sweatshop laws, tax fringe benefits, and cut back job-training programs for the unemployed. He tried to replace thousands of federal employees with temporary workers who would not have civil service or union protections.”(Dick Meister) Reagan was the key to weakening the unions. Today corporations are trying to finish the job, Reagan was key player in, by using propaganda.

Corporations will say they outsource jobs because of unions and that’s why they’re moving out of America. Well there is some truth to that, but not the whole truth. Corporations move out of the US because they get tax breaks to leave the US.

Corporations also went to countries without unions. People are thinking well if we did not have unions, corporations would have stayed. Well, there is little truth to that too. If we did not have unions and they could pay 24 cents an hour, work people in unsafe working conditions, and work 10 to 15 hours a day; yes they would stay. You are thinking I am wrong. Well, let just look at Bangladesh. “Bangladesh offers the global garment industry something unique: Millions of workers who quickly churn out huge amounts of well-made underwear, jeans and T-shirts for the lowest wages in the world.” (ANNE D'INNOCENZIO). They only make 24 cents an hour. They work in unsafe conditions. That is the wages and the conditions we would have to work in to get those jobs back here in the US. I do not think we, as people would work like that today. Also if you even look at states that have laws to weaken unions like right to work you will see they have less pay.

If you look at the poorest states, 7 of them are right-to-work states. “The data on wages tell a fairly clear story. Of the top 10 states in per capita income in 2011, seven were not right-to work states. Of the bottom 10 states with the lowest per capital income, seven were right to work states.”(John Gallagher). The unions have very little power or none at all in those 7 poorest right-to-work states. That’s what happens when you weaken the unions. The wages do not keep up with inflation and corporations can pay you less.

When you look at unions look at them as good for the people. “They were made by the people for the people”(bill of rights). There here to make sure people get what people deserve. If we do not support them we will lose more of what we have. We have to stand with them as they stand with us. If you look back history you can find all the great leaders supporting unions. I will leave you with a Quote. Pope Paul VI:

The important role of union organizations must be admitted: their object is the representation of the various categories of workers, their lawful collaboration in the economic advance of society, and the development of the sense of their responsibility for the realization of the common good.
