Do you ever get the feeling that people are SO focussed on making sure THEIR chosen morality becomes law, that they never look at the things THEY may be doing that violate their own beliefs?
OK... This one's probably gonna make some people mad...
Here's the deal. I don't know why people like Mike Huckabee care about 2 consenting same sex people getting married? Or people like the Family Council care whether children who likely will grow up in the state system with NO parents are allowed to be adopted or fostered by a loving couple, married or not?
Pardon my crass view... but does "what you do with your private" REALLY determine whether you're a good parent? And are these groups not bigger pervert than they accuse others of being since they literally sit around... have meetings... and DISCUSS forementioned "privates usage"?
I would like to go on the record with MY views... because God knows I have a view. ;-p
As for marriage.
I believe that if some people are legally barred from entering into that institution... then it should not provide federal, fiscal benefits for those who CAN. Morality views aside... Why should the federal government offer tax credits for people JUST because they got married and/or "did it"?
If, as the Huckabees of the world would have us believe, marriage is a matter of faith and a union that is set forth in the bible... FINE... Keep it as such and remove federal benefits! If it's about "love"... then put your money where your mouth is...
And as for adoption... If you want to prevent me, as an unmarried person who honestly doesn't believe in marriage, from adopting... then don't expect me to pay taxes that benefit schools or any other children's group!
Let's face it folks... there are a LOT of people out there who got married as more of a business proposition. Their business becomes the fabrication of numerous carbon copies of themselves.
All too often it becomes easier and more lucrative for couple to just stay at home and keep having kids than for them to both get jobs!!!
Why should I, as an unmarried person with no children, have to continue paying for these people to keep having kids? Through Wedding Showers, Wedding Gifts, Baby Showers... Birthday gifts.... "AR Kids First", welfare, medicaid, millages, taxes... girl scout cookies... WHEN DOES IT END???
When it really comes down to it... I honestly don't care if I'm not invited to the dinner table... just don't expect ME to pick up the check!
