"content": "(Sen. (Dr.) Machage): That is why I wanted to hear the subsequent remarks that were to follow that. In the Holy Bible, there is a chapter somewhere in the Synoptic gospels where it says: “Take my cross and follow me”. What some people in this country do is literally to go and cut a big tree, build a cross to a scale that nobody knows and carry it everywhere; some hanging it on the necks and some carrying it on the shoulders while forgetting that that was just a sentence out of a speech. That is exactly what this House is trying to do and I will not allow it. Sometimes it is good to listen to a legislator, give a little space and get what it means. We have what we call satirical and figurative expressions in English."
