Well, you seem to have a problem with the term 'marraige' being redefined.

John, we all understand what you're arguing.  We just disagree with you.

You know what, in my crazier moments I'd be happy to leave the definition of
"marriage" to whatever non governmental sanctioning bodies wanted to sanction
it, and they can define it however [they] like. As part of that leaving I'd
then go through with a big red pen and change every single occurance of the
word marriage in the entire body of US law to a different term. "Relationship
contract" for example, I dunno. I'm not really attached to the word Marriage
per se.

So for that reason, until these imposers of unjust morality are [stopped]
once and for all (and I think the Founding Fathers think they [did] just
that, regrettably, and I think they'd be dismayed to see how it has
unraveled), I am not ready to cede control of the term Marriage. Instead I'll
fight for its expansion to include all valid relationship arrangements.

I agree with everything Larry stated.  Oh if wished made it so...

I think Larry should change his name to Dave and become part of the Davish 5

Though there is a Larry David in teh world--mayhaps Larry's middle name is
Dave...
