Every man has the right to decide his own destiny. – Bob Marley
PLEASE PERMIT ME to respond to Canadian High Commissioner Marie Legault and her notion that Barbados should decriminalise same-sex conduct [as stated in last Thursday’s DAILY NATION].
Where does Canada – and indeed the High Commissioner – derive the moral authority to provide leadership on this question of choice? Is it that Barbados is seen as a poor, impoverished, Third World nation that has squandered its scarce resources and must now go cap in hand to G7 nations like Canada for aid?
If that be the case, then it is your right to attach conditionalities to your largesse as a way of advancing your progressive liberal agenda.
The question of rights and what is morally useful for the collective good of a society is inextricably tied to responsibility. My responsibility is to leave Barbados in better shape than I found it.
It is your right to shape Canadian society in any manner you choose.
It is, however, my responsibility to reject your truth as one that seeks to destroy the moral fabric of this nation and have us warring over stupid, petty globalist constructs like gender identity, same-sex conduct, climate change, acceptance of Islam and a whole set of other idiocies designed to bring about chaos and usher in your god that’s waiting in the wings.
My advice to you: go back and tell your masters . . . you need to first destroy the family and undermine the church. Without laying a proper foundation that gets rid of prayer in schools, the removal of key pieces of legislation from the statute books and more influential voices championing the cause, the social justice ideals will not take hold.
Madame High Commissioner, you’ve got a hard row to hoe.
– JOSEPH SCOTT
