    i think that marriage should be abolished as it is currently recognized by the state. the state should have civil unions only in which anyone is free to enter into any sort of contractual obligation with anyone else. marriage as an institution should be left to individual organizations of church/etc and recognized by the state only as civil unions. this would allow homosexuals to not feel discriminated agaisnt and the religious right to not contribute to a government that condones homosexuality as equal to marriage as a union - as it would now be entirely secularized. sexuality would no longer be an issue regarding a civil union as anyone could join into one.

    as consummation of a marriage would no longer be necessary if homosexual marriages became legal, population in the world is now at a critical peak, love is a metaphysical concept based on faith that the governemnt should not recognize, culture is relative and not worth preserving as far as procreation is concerned, marriages work about as often as a coin toss pulls up heads, we seem to all be here killing time anyway, marriages exist for the subjugation of one partner in favor of the other, love has about as much to do with modern marriage as jesus had to do with the solar temple cult, etc - i dont see why this is a bad idea

    an impractical one, yes
    bad? i dont think so

    what do you think?

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
