ah marriage!

don't get me started.  gay marriage.  marriage between one man and one woman.  all of it is nonsense.  the government had no business granting marriages to anyone.  a marriage is a religious demarcation, not a governmental one.  if anything all couples of any persuassion should be given contracts.  if a marriage is to be sought it should be sought in the religion of your choosing.  if the religion you choose does not allow same sex marriages, then do not whine about it, choose a religion that does.  established institutional concerns need not conform to your desires, so if you are not happy with them, construct your own new ones.
