With Google in trouble for skipping observance of Memorial Day—we only do light-hearted observances, they say—here’s a light-hearted event for them to celebrate.
It’s the World Congress of Families, being held in Warsaw on May 11-13, 2007.
I know. In your dreams. Especially given the attitude of Ms Magazine.
But lefty outfits like Google should do some thinking about population. After all, the result of lefty politics and consciousness raising on population has been calamitous. As Don Feder writes, everything the left celebrates leads to an empty cradle.
Selfishness was celebrated. Marriage and children were downgraded to lifestyle options. Women who stayed at home to raise and nurture a family were derided. The importance of fathers was downplayed. Abortion was enshrined as a "human right." And contraception was ubiquitous.
Just think. If lefties continue, as in Europe, to embrace diverse family forms that don’t usually have children, pretty soon there won’t be any lefties.
The World Congress of Families is different. Held provocatively in the center of depopulating Europe, it
will address such timely issues as: the importance of marriage, fecundity as a natural expression of family love and hope for the future, how to counter assaults on the family (including pornography, drugs, a hostile media, cohabitation, divorce and marriage-substitutes), rejecting the contraceptive mentality, promoting pro-family policies, building a new culture of marriage and strengthening the vital bond of faith and family.
Sounds like a light-hearted affirmation of life. Just the sort of light-hearted event that Google likes to celebrate with a goofy version of their logo.
