: I still don't get why anyone would want to
: marry anyone else. Heterosexual /
: homosexual. It's so archaic.

: I see people walking around with those rings
: on their fingers. What does that mean?

: me to pledge their lives to me?

: I mean, what's the point? So
: "God" gives his blessings to the
: union? So you're assured of getting alimony
: if something goes wrong? So your mate won't
: have a wandering eye?

: If you love someone, then who needs God or
: the government to "approve" of it?
:
: Is there a ballot measure coming up to
: abolish marriage? I wonder what would
: happen if there was no marriages?
:
: Sorry, Rat...... You can marry as many
: people as you want. I didn't mean to pick
: on you, but I didn't know where else to post
: my rant. :-)

: Wow, this is a great debate. I think with
: no easy answers. My own position is
: inconsistent. I think I should be allowed
: to marry someone of either sex. But I don't
: think I should be able to marry two people,
: (whether of the same sex or not!) But I
: can't prove there is any essential
: difference between these two actions. Its
: more "what the market can bear."
