It seems that a ...I second 'freebones'.<br /><br />It seems that a 'marriage license' is just a means for local governments to collect a little revenue(or a lot in some cases). They should just call it a marriage fee and be done with it.<br /><br />As to the Federal Government involvement - it needs to step aside on this and on the issue of abortion. Both are personal and private issues that the Federal government has no business meddling in.<br /><br />If churches want to set their own criteria for 'marriage' so be it.<br /><br />I remember going to a Presbyterian to be married and since I had been married before and divorced, I was told I had to confess this previous action as a "sin" before the minister would marry us.<br /><br />I didn't see it that way and found that a Methodist minister didn't seem to have a problem with my wicked past.Anna Guess Pickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312345846201371477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981949.post-31853139156488377112011-06-15T08:18:19.014-04:002011-06-15T08:18:19.014-04:00Well said freebones!Well said freebones!ishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750800388443950585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981949.post-4245921999212764092011-06-15T00:58:02.221-04:002011-06-15T00:58:02.221-04:00It makes me cringe to think that of all the Republ...It makes me cringe to think that of all the Republican contenders, Ron Paul actually makes the most sense when it comes to gay marraige. <br /><br />It is not the government's decision. Marry a man. Marry a woman. Marry a car. Marry a molecule. Marry a building. Marry a concept. Marry marraige. "WHO FUCKING CARES?" is my question. Why is this anyone's concern beyond the individual(s) involved in the union? Not to say that their aren't rights to fight loudly for. I just mean that it makes no sense to me that gay marraige is even a concern. What is there to fight?<br /><br />Republicans loves to decry big government, but their intervention gave us the current set of corporate loopholes, lobbyist dictatorship, and free speech controls (video game, music, and movie 'ratings') that keep us in the dark. Big government is fine with these people as long as it's what their self-designed jesus would do. Disgraceful.freeboneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131233817153602375noreply@blogger.com
