"I don't
think that judges should do anything
but interpret the meaning of texts
that have been democratically adopted
and give them the meaning
they bore when the people adopted
them,'' -- Chief Justice Scalia
"Christianity
has never lacked critics. The renaissance
had the humanists, the enlightenment
had the rationalists, while today's
radical secularists have state-sanctioned
inquisitions. The Ontario's Human
Rights Tribunal ruling last week
is the latest example of state persecution
and discrimination against a Christian
agency." -- by RdC
"We
are facing threats from within our
borders and from enemies overseas,
and immoral practices and ideologies
are prevailing in nearly every segment
of our culture. Clearly, there is
an urgent need for God's people
to seek
His protection and wisdom as we
confront these dangers."
-- James Dobson - Focus on the Family
"We render
to Caesar the things that are Caesar's
-- and
our children do not belong to Caesar."
-- Sean Murphy CCRL

Three
quotes from The Daily Telegraph
"In a land without morals:"
"The
death of civility? I'm afraid so.
The liberal revolution of the Sixties,
which separated morality from law,
is leading us, says Sacks, to "a
new form of barbarism".
The breakdown
of the traditional family was likened
last Saturday by a High Court judge,
Mr. Justice Coleridge, to an out-of-control
cancerous body, posing more of a
threat
to our futures than global warming.
The family courts, he said, are
witnessing
"a never-ending carnival of
human misery".
When our
legal system loses its moral compass,
it is only to be expected that on
the mean streets of Britain many
impressionable children will do
the same."

"Our
lives begin to end the day we become
silent about things that matter."
-- Rev. Martin Luther King Jr
"We intend
to exercise our constitutional right
to freedom of expression,
protected by the Charter. We call
on those who disagree with our message
to enter into debate, not to censor
our opinion."
-- Matthew Wilson, U of C campus
pro-life president.
A Japanese
proverb says "As the radius
of knowledge increases,
the circumference of ignorance expands."
"good ethics
depend on good facts, and good law
depends on good ethics."
-- Margaret Somerville, founding
director Centre for Medicine,
Ethics and Law, McGill University
"When
it is recognized that religion has
a public as well as a private dimension
and that all citizens are believers
(in something and with some propositions
undergirding these beliefs) it is
then clear that there should be
no privileged place in Canadian
public policy for atheist and agnostic
beliefs or corresponding exclusion
of religious groups and individuals."
