  3. Thanks Wells, For me, marriage is a covenant or contract between a man and a woman. Marriage has a specific definition in our society. It is true that other cultures have historically (some are contemporary) expressed alternative meanings and afforded the union varying degrees of weight, but for traditional western culture, it is a monogamous union between a man and a woman. This union is recognized by society and provides the couple with certain benefits. With this stated, we must recognize that it is an institution founded in both secular and religious tradition. However, this does NOT mean society cannot construct and recognize a union between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. It may also (and should) prescribe the same civil benefits. Keep in mind, society can potentially construct unions which are polygamist, including those with multiple mixed or same sex members. It may go further and include, in my opinion, perverse unions between children and adults, or even non-humans (some societies legally permit these types of "relationships." I do not like altering well established definitions to suit any group. If I eat meat, I am not a vegetarian. If I condone violence, I am not a pacifist. If I believe in the Divine, I am not an atheist. We cannot alter definitions for the sake of equivalency. It's my personal opinion. In the end, I just think we have far more serious issues to contend with. This is not a crisis. We have bigger issues to contend with. "Winter is coming..." for all of us, Lannister.
  4. As the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on the subject of "gay marriage", please afford me the opportunity to offend. One: this is not a Federal issue. This is, once again, an intrusion by the Federal government into an area reserved for the States and The People. Two: there are far more IMPORTANT matters for Americans to be concerned with at this time. By all means, lets throw the gauntlet down when it comes to "gay marriage", but continue to ignore the fact that we've bankrupt our country for generations and are heedless of the deaths of our servicemen and women overseas. The media just does not find it titillating enough and America would rather be entertained with distractions. The country has lost any sense of its priorities. Three: When "gay marriage" becomes the norm, and it will be, please remember that "marriage" will be a relative term. Yes, Americans love a good dose of relativism. We can then move on to permitting polygamy. I won't mention what some people advocate in the enlightened European Union. Just remember, when we move in that direction, we need to treat everyone equally. Four: This is being labeled "marriage equality." Why? I know why. When you add the term "equality", it's intended to characterize an opposing position as one which serves "inequality." Don't disagree with the premise of the discussion, or you're just a bigot or homophobe. Guess what, I disagree. This has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with recognition. I support civil unions, but marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Period.
