The marriage institution cannot exist among slaves, and one sixth of the population of democratic america is denied it's privileges by the law of the land. what is to be thought of a nation boasting of its liberty, boasting of it's humanity, boasting of its christianity, boasting of its love of justice and purity, and yet having within its own borders three millions of persons denied by law the right of marriage?

More From Frederick Douglass

In my dreams is a country where the state is the church and the church the people: three in one and one in three. it is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. it is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. it is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.

Israel exists; it has a right to exist in peace behind secure and defensible borders; and it has a right to demand of its neighbors that they recognize those facts. i have personally followed and supported israel's heroic struggle for survival, ever since the founding of the state of israel 34 years ago. in the pre-1967 borders israel was barely 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. the bulk of israel's population lived within artillery range of hostile arab armies. i am not about to ask israel to live that way again.

Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. it can only be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice. justice requires that we carefully weigh rights and privileges and assure that each member of a community receives his due share. love does not weigh rights and privileges too carefully because it prompts each to bear the burden of the other.
Life Rights Justice
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.
