Do They Even Hear Themselves Speaking?
Bar none, the funniest political quote of the season:
Both President Bush and U.S. Sen. John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, oppose gay marriage, though they support gay civil rights.
Pretty much akin to saying, "Oh, I'm against segregation. I just think black people should ride at the back of the bus."

Whatever happened with that judge, anyway? Last I heard people were going to try and physically block anyone who tried to remove the ten commandments.

Re: Why is it important?

I place some concerns on people of different cultural backgrounds getting married because your cultural roots make up more of who a person is than the amount of melenin in your skin.
You can have all the concerns you want about the marriage of two people from different cultural backgrounds. But does your concern mean that they shouldn't have the right to get married if they want to?
If I ever want to get married, the idea that I would need the approval of anyone other than the girl I'd be marrying scares the Hell out of me.

As far as you being scared to death about winning someone else's approval to marry a girl, then you must have issues about yourself.
No... you're missing the point. The idea that I would not have the right to marry her without the approval of others is what scares me.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to have other peoples' approval. But ultimately the only two people who have to approve would be me and her. The idea that anyone else would have a say in it is a frightening one.
