I always find it amusing when "conservatives" who believe in smaller government, less intrusion of government, free-market capitalism and all of that, suddenly call for an intrusion of government to stop behavior that not only doesn't affect them personally, but is only abhorrent to their own culture.

Why would you find it "amusing" that conservatives wish to conserve the definition of marriage that has been with this country since its birth?

And why, if you are hell bent on redefining marriage, would you limit it to two members of the same sex who engage in homosexual acts?

I would simply oppose allowing the GOVERNMENT to be the arbiter of Correct Behavior(tm). And as for And why, if you are hell bent on redefining marriage, would you limit it to two members of the same sex who engage in homosexual acts? I have never known heterosexuals to engage in homosexual acts, so I don't know what you're getting at.

All behavior deemed offensive to any group will be outlawed.

These behaviors include spanking, prayer, wearing of religious ornaments, use of opinionated or poignant bumper stickers, uppity black people supporting conservative causes, gun ownership, action movies, nudity (of womyn), heterosexual intercourse (see rape), marriage, motherhood (see white slavery), public opposition of marxism/leninism, consumption of fatty foods, smoking, Atkins, cheesecake, candies, Valentine's day, Father's Day, Christmas, Yom Kippur, Hannukkah, Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, Capitalism, Entrepreneurship (see Capitalism), loud music, Sport-Utility-Vehicles, gasoline, CO2 production, breathing, passing wind, lumberjacking, camping, hunting, fishing, zoos, meat, animal husbandry, eggs, fish, poulty, fur, Roy Rogers, Huckleberry Finn, abstinence education, pastries, clothes with mixed fibers, plastic, glass, and the miniskirt.

I don't want to live in that world. If you do, kindly move to Antarctica and create it there.

Great lines, -- more than adequate, man.

A good test of effectiveness is the whining of the opposition.

You win, big time, on that score.
