    There are plenty of sexless, childless heterosexuals marriges out there and in a decade all these fears about the family unit collapsing will prove to be unfounded and hollow

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    So, what's your answer? Should I take that to mean that any consensual 2 person relationship should gain tax and SS benefits?

    So anybody can get married to anyone else? Where do you limit it? Why do we recognize it in the first place?

    Is this really a question?We limit it as a union between two or more people. You can bring out the ignorant beastiality argument but the fact is that only humans comprehend and understand unions as we talk about it, so it only applies to humans.We recognize it in the first place because we put social pride and emphasis on love, friendship, and community, things that make america stronger.
