Whether it be a matter of personal relations within a marriage or political initiatives within a peace process there is no sure-fire do-it-yourself kit.

Provincial governments in Canada have terminated the positions of marriage commissioners who have for personal religious convictions not performed same sex marriages. It has happened in Saskatchewan.

Marriage is a lot of things - a source of love security the joy of children but it's also an interpersonal battlefield and it's not hard to see why: Take two disparate people toss them together in often-confined quarters add the stresses of money and kids - now lather rinse repeat for the rest of your natural life. What could go wrong?

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality but must live with a character.

Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect considering their value on the personality market.

The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.

We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly we should die.

Property is intended to serve life and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.

The president just as any other American deserves a legal defense against personal lawsuits not related to his office. But the costs of that defense should be borne by him and not the taxpayer.
