more marriage blah blah blah

Mr. R.L. Fulk wrote a good letter on the Constitution stating that constitutions do not ban individual actions such as marriage. However, there are marriage laws that place limits on marriage such as age and provide for parental support of children. Tax laws and business practices should be changed to focus on dependent children. The tax laws recognize that it is less expensive for two in the same household than in separate households, but a marriage license should not be the basis for a tax advantage. We should have the same standards for gay couples as we do for “straight” couples. We cannot enforce bedroom activity, but we must not diminish the purpose and sanctity of marriage by legalizing same-sex marriage.

mister briscoe, right up to that last sentence, you sound as if you are in favor, then you turn at the last second and mention having the same standards for all couples! how can you want similar standards and then immediatly follow with "oh wait, what i meant was, i want different standards for the one group, my bad..."

and the purpose and sanctity of marriage? tell me what exactly is the purpose of marriage? love, money, kids, companionship, tax relief, citizenship; do tell. and the sanctity? puh-lease, if marriages are so holy, why don''t more of them last?

so tired of hearing about marriage period. it's an antiquated institution that has morphed into a mutli-million dollar industry. all this talk about marriage only serves to reinforce the belief that the only valid relationship that exists it the one sealed with a minister's kiss.
