Now and then we as a Nation are
given the opportunity to change
When the constitution of this country
was written, only white male land
owners could vote Things have
changed This is good The Constitu
turn reflects those changes
We are being asked to change our
state constitution this year by the
Oregon Citizens Alliance We are
being asked to declare some of our
citizens to be abnormal based on
their sexual preference The basis D m *
this request is Biblical teachings
The words in the Bible have not
changed in over two thousand years
Some of them are based on ignorance
and fear, some on love and compas
sion
The bixik of Leviticus, if you
haven t read it. speaks mostly about
bhx)d sacrifice and personal hygiene
When it gets into sexual practices in
chapter 20, verse 13 it forbids any
but those between husband and wife
It forbids further anyone with a bro
ken foot <>r broken hand . or a hunch
back or a dwarf etc to offer a sacri
l ice to God This is the God of the Old
Testament This is the God of the OCA
and he hasn l changed in two thou
sand years, now would be a goixl time
to lake a look at those old laws and
maybe change a few
Just wanted to get that off my
chest
More Stuff
We are glad to see some new sup
port for the Edge from around town
and the state And we are sorry to

friend and computer golfer has sold

Now to the fun stuff if this is now

election) we would like to recommend
you vole for the following, if you are
reading this then (alter the election»
