While we are discussing this matter, consider the plight of couples who have tried to have children but could not have them. I think we should cut each of those couples a check for $2,600 ($1000 x 2.6 children average per family) as though they had children because, after all, haven't they suffered enough in their failure and guilt.
Finally, what about all the gays who have tried to adopt and have been prevented from doing so because of such old-fashioned ideas and laws concerning morality, stability, hertero-sexual couples. Think of their pain, think of their feelings - cut them a check.
All you people have been just too damn judgemental - remember, it is a sin to be judgemental - judgmentalism is just a few letters before racism which is the worst sin of all. Gee, its great to be an American.
