It's none of Bush's damn business who I, you or anybody else choose to marry. It places no restrictions on who anybody can marry. I sure hope you look out for other traffic better than you look out for this country's freedoms. Your politics gives you a whopping blind spot, and there is a torpedo heading right toward you. |

"Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message et... "W P Dixon" wrote in message ... Does anyone else see a pattern with the Democratic Party. Seems they preach and preach about freedom, but always do their best to take it away from us against The Constitution. It's frustrating! Stop with this garbage about the Democratic party. Those wanting to take our freedoms and everything else from us come from both parties so cut the crap and be prepared to defend those rights from assault no matter which party they come from. |

We have already crossed the line... The government already allows special privileges to 'married' couples that single
folks do not have. If marriage is as defined by 'religion', and the government freezes that definition into law, then the government is establishing a religion - contrary to the constitution. There should be no special government considerations given to 'married' folks, regardless of the institution that defined the 'marriage. But this is way OT.... Here is a sample letter someone passed my way: Dear Congressman, I just heard about H.R. 5053 introduced by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.). I strongly request that you NOT support this bill and actively seek to stop the passage of this bill in any form. As a private pilot that understands general aviation I strongly disagree with the assumptions presumed by this bill. This bill proposes to add SEVERE restriction to all aviation activity, exempting the airlines, in the name of furthering security. Shamefully this bill again attacks general aviation which government and private security experts have continually said does not present a significant threat. This bill imposes major increases in government regulation and raises major costs for all parties involved. It will also severely restricts use of major public and private infrastructure throughout the nation, 17,000 landing facilities and more than 200,000 aircraft. Those numbers represent ENORMOUS investment of both public and private funds. Those investments generate substantial business activity throughout our economy. A bill like this does nothing to increase security but does further restrict the freedom of law abiding citizens. I would ask that you not just work to keep America free, but work to keep in place the freedoms Americans treasure. Thank you, |

"Andrew Gideon" wrote in message online.com... Unfortunately, our Constitution is not self-limiting. That is, if we pass an amendment which makes the US a theocracy, a theocracy it will be. The only real protection we have is that the threshold for passing an amendment is set relatively high. Doesn't matter. We can just ignore the Constitution or declare it to mean something other than what it clearly states. |

Marriage has nothing to do with religion. It's true that most religions have adopted the concept of marriage and tacked on their various religious trappings and rites and ceremonies, but the core concept of marriage is a social convention regarding the care and raising of children. All of the tax breaks, insurance benefits and other various benefits associated with marriage exist for the purpose of easing the burden of raising children. Ideally, this would have been true. If so, though, multiple marriages would permitted. In fact, there's a fair chance that they'd be encouraged given the greater redundancy involved in having more "parents". [This is something of which I'm very aware when I'm flying, now that I'm a parent myself.] - Andrew |
