Did you all read the link in reply # 17? That is where Kurtz is taken on as to interior points. I just thought I would just nuke the whole edifice with one fell swoop by showing the data from the less enlightened lands. (What IS going on in Georgia by the way?) The numbers simply buttress my sense that the assertion is intuitively ludicrous on its face in any event, as well as statistical gigo and specious causality.

Ya, some of the other points are tendentious (it will undermine "Christianity" for example), and/or unsubstantiated as well, but there are only so many hours in a day.

There is a real fiscal issue however, that needs to be addressed. John Walsh is right, that it will be fraud city as folks just get married to rip off the system, in considerably greater numbers than now. But that cannot and must not be a reason to deny such a key "right" and important aspect of one's life, in and of itself. If it costs more money, well that's just life in the big city.

So does that mean I can marry my SUV and stop payments on it? I really like it. If they try to take it, I could hit the bank with a kidnapping charge - a federal offense?

If homosexual deviates hooked on strange sex fetishes can marry, so can tree humpers, foot licker's, and farmers with their favorite mutton chops.
I suppose the homosexuals will try to take the "moral high ground" to argue against their marriage rights, huh? LOL.

Your guy misses or ignores a salient point. The out of wedlock birth rate began to rise dramatically when the sexual mores of the countries changed to give government approval of and endorsement to alternative lifestyles.

The damage was already done when they took the final step. I find the author unconvincing. Snide but unconvincing.
