i agree with josh totally on the gay marrage thing. its much better for society as a whole to let them go nuts. more children will get adopted and people stand to make money off of gay weddings (you don't think gay/lesbians wont have huge massive extravigant weddings?). what bush is missing is that there is no sanctity in marrige. divorce rates are through the roof with more then one in every two marriges ending in divorce. plus the history of marrige isn't exactly the most glorious thing in the world. for hundreds of years marriges were arranged between two people. how special is that? or in other countries like india where you can buy any bride you want for the right number of cattle or the proper dowery. how many people are stuck in loveless marriges because of thier stupid religion? all these people want is to be able to say the other person is thier husband/wife or that they can call themselves married. i'm sure half the gay guys want it just so they can wear the dress. there wouldn't be a problem if the government didn't give such huge tax breaks and incentives for "married" couples. this whole mess is depressing thinking that anybody actually cares one way or the other. i think one of our problems is that we live in a very liberal part of the country where as the midwest and south are very conservitive. fuck the south, we don't need their cotton any more, just their oil.
