Let me introduce you to my counter-argument: Winchester Model 1897 12 gauge
Boomstick. Youll only get my Lego when you pry it from my cold dead
fingers (with a brick-separator). :-)

Works fine - actually, I had no idea what model it was until I just looked. I
presumed it was some thing my grandfather got in the 60s - which he may have,
but by its serial number it is actually 100 years old (1904). Dang.
Snickersnee? Well...close! Actually it is a bolo knife (a snickersnee being
some kind of vague large knife). At two and a half feet long, Id call that
large!
One-two, one two, and through and through,
the vorpal blade went snickersnack

Yes, but I believe the lowest pit of hell isnt reserved for all
politicians, just those from Texas (though Nixon has done his darnedest to
crash the party).
|
lol I would have said Massachusetts, long before JFKerry appeared! The ones
from Texas would probably appreciate the cooler weather though;-)
|
ROFLMAO!

The issue is whether the government can recognize a marriage that is
defined as a union between 1 man and 1 woman and have that not violate
equal protection. I think it can.
|
And if it can, might it not decide tomorrow that marriage cant include
people of two different races? Id rather not have the government telling
me what I can and cannot do.
|
Thats not the issue. Its one of recognition. You can marry and do
whatever you want to do.
|
Currently.

They are taking a shortcut. Either their action stands, saving the
taxpayers the court costs (because the goverment figures its laws wont
stand up and the court action is a waste of time and money) or it takes the
case to court which is the net same effect.
|
Well, how parsimonious. Since when are Democrats interested in saving
instead of spending?
|
ANNNNNNHHHHH! Wrong guess, Hans. My party is the color of my eyes (on a
non-smoggy day, ya smart-alec).
Actually, I dont see a lot of difference on the spending front between
Democrats and Republicans (beyond they have different agendas for the money).
Democrats want to tax, though, and Republicans want to borrow and pretend like
it doesnt work out to the same.

Further, issuing marriage licenses doesnt
mean that they have any legal weight, so in effect why seek confrontation
when you have an effective pocket veto? The game-playing by both sides has
hardly begun!
|
It makes me wonder what benefit gays think they are deriving from this
stand. It will most certainly backfire and elicit far more acrimony towards
their cause than any small amount of good obtained.

Defeat of the narrow-minded?
