No. But they have forced Vermont and Massachusetts residents to embrace a a liberal value system against their will. And they might force a federalized liberal value system on the rest of us if we do not do something to stop them. Where's the self-government in that? Is our gov't now of by and for the judiciary? We might as well save money and get rid of elections and legislators all together.

Huh? How'd they do that? If the government in your state, or the federal government passes a law recognizing gay or polygamous marriages, am I to understand that you will immediately be "embracing" these family arrangements, because the government "forced" you to?

Self-government is when free people decide for themselves what they recognize as valid and worthwhile -- not when they buy into whatever list the government hands them. If we just ignore the government-authored lists, the government will eventually stop authoring them.
