No, but I just don't see the point in debating two pieces of stone that are of questionable existance, much less rewriting them for comic value. Carlin did it the best, and no one will top it.
If people are interested in protecting the institution of marriage, why don't we work on all of those adulterous or abusive husbands, or those on their third or fourth marriage, or those who are never home to care for their children?
No. That would point the finger back at us, and, being American, we despise having that finger pointed at us. We'd prefer to have it on the group that doesn't actually have the right to marriage, yet is somehow obligated to justify themselves. We pile on reasons - they can't reproduce, they defy the bible - anything to keep that light off ourselves. We convince ourselves that these animals would just divorce, or turn children homosexual, anything to keep us from acknowledging that they are NO DIFFERENT THAN WE ARE.
Jesus Christ, it's not that hard to realize!
I feel much better knowing I have my goatse back.

Sometimes I question you.
This is why I like the idea of civil unions - the word "marriage" doesn't enter into it, and perhaps we could expand civil union to encompass all of the legal rights and protections of marriage. It's simply a name game - no one seems to care (Vermont) if they're all getting together under civil union, but if you slap "marriage" on the damn thing, people start to think of churches, Jesus, and George W. Bush. Each side must bend a little bit to get this pushed through in a way that will make every side happy.

I knew it was the fault of the Jews, just like everything in history.

Funny, I've never seen ANY proof of gays having mental disorders.

Really. That's interesting. I could've sworn that civil unions allowed for civil spouses to see one another in the hospital. Hm.
Marriage by any other name...

Oh man, Billy Ray Cyrus.
The problem with Bush's move is that ethics can be debated for centuries. He's just postponing it.

Fetus Farms seems a bit Orwellian, but I agree with your view.

We've officially hit the limit for same-sex marriage topics.

I often find myself wondering about the specifics of stem-cell research, and on the news that Britain would be launching its first major stem-cell laboratory; I had to finally sort out my exact opinions on the subject. Briefly I was engaged in discussion over stem-cell and cloning when President Bush made his anti-cloning statements early in his term, but cloning has never been my interest. It all seems too distant.
Stem-cells, on the other hand, have the potential to serve a very important and beneficial role in society. Their versatile characteristics make for nearly limitless possibilities – everything from kidneys for those in need to skin grafts without the tearing.
The main opponents to stem-cell research in the United States come in the form of religious right-wingers, as has always been the case in most issues involving science.
We remember the Scopes Trial, where the religious right moved to block evolution from schools and were made fools of in court.
We remember Roe v Wade, when the Supreme Court made its landmark decision that medical abortion procedures should be legal in all states – flying in the face of what the religious right had been lobbying for.
Now we stand ready for yet another fight against the religious extremists of the right. This one does not simply unfold within the boundaries of the United States, but throughout the world.
Stem-cells provide important slates with which to virtually draw up any organ, any tissue that is needed. It has the potential to shrink hospital waiting lists for organs, lower the prices of transplant procedures, and provide needed organs and tissues to hospitals in other nations that previously had to do without.
We could, with worldwide support and funding for the stem-cell program, redraw the wheel as it stands in the medical profession. No longer would scientists have too few organs to study, too few tissues to mend those injured. We would very nearly have a bounty, for the first time in medical history, an organ donation bounty!
The religious fanatics of the right flock and picket because, to get the stem cells, to obtain these building blocks that would cure and help find cures for billions, we must remove them from fetuses.
Now, I’m respecting of the views of others, but when you are laying out the equation of one potential life as defined by the Supreme Court, one fetus to save millions of lives, it is the good of the whole that must prevail. How foolish we would be to sacrifice the good of billions, of very nearly all the world, because the skewing in the religious right declares we should not.
We must remember that there is an area of the world where religion has been granted carte blanche in drafting what is just and what is not. We call that area the Middle East, the Cradle of Terror, the focus of our President’s woes.
The religious right must know that they cannot prevent the easing of the ills of the world simply because they feel it is not right. An aborted fetus, instead of going to waste as the religious right prefers they do now, since they are unable to stop the abortion process itself, could go to infinite use for millions in need.
Stem-cells allow us to help our ailing brethren. What is more noble than that?
Nixon tried using executive privilege and "national security" to hide his audio tapes on the Wategate break-in from Congress. He states some things on there, if heard, would jeopardize the security of the country.
That's overextending power.
