But I think it's up to a local congregation to determine whether or not a marriage should be blessed of God. And it shouldn't be up to the government.

Summary

This quote suggests that the decision to bless a marriage should be left to the local congregation rather than being determined by the government. It emphasizes the belief that the institution of marriage carries a spiritual significance that should be solely determined within religious communities. It implies that governmental bodies should not have the authority to define or regulate the sanctity of marriage, as it is ultimately a personal and religious matter. Ultimately, the quote expresses a preference for decentralizing the power to decide which marriages are considered blessed by God.

In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delive

In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delivered and it must conform to the law of supply and demand. If, therefore, the fixed salary is a violation of this law - as, for instance, when I see two engineers leaving college together and both equally well trained and efficient, and one getting forty thousand while the other only earns two thousand , or when lawyers and hussars, possessing no special qualifications, are appointed directors of banks with huge salaries - I can only conclude that their salaries are not fixed according to the law of supply and demand but simply by personal influence. And this is an abuse important in itself and having a deleterious effect on government service.
