"Two adult human beings" -- how does that sound? The 6-year old girl cannot marry, due to quite a simple fact that she, just like the ape, does not realize the repercussions of her actions.
Bush, by far, is a human being, even though in his mental capacity he does sometimes remind me of a 6-year old girl, but that's beyond the point. I appreciate your wit.
"Most sacred traditions"... Could you come down from the tribune and look around? Traditions must accept change. Fifty years ago interracial marriage, for example, was preposterous - would you identify it as a twist of tradition as well?
Bottom line: I do not understand why two adult people who love each other and want to share the rest of their lives together should not be able to marry each other.
tired to explain - when the two people are the same sex it's not a marriage. It's a union of some kind. Marriage is completely different thing no matter what the Supreme Jugdes say or whoever if you will. For me - it's different, that's all. And I explained many times - I don't want to be in the same compartment for that matter with the same-sex people. I am not against them, I am not against their unions, but it's not marriage.
Speaking of trhditions - I don't think a marriage is a tradition, we arguing about a term. That's all.
