There seems to be only three things important anymore: amnesty for undocumented residents, gun control, and gay marriage. I wish easy money was one. Clark Howard listed
Cashcrate.com as a legit "work from site."
I don't know if it's worth the effort, what do you think?
None of the three is even a daily concern of mine. I'm just a casual observer to the debates, and I lean towards the thinking that all three concepts are wishful solutions that won't solve anything in the grand scheme of things. Yes, I'm a cynic.
Case in point, marriage's meaning spawned long ago. It had to do with legal joining families through the union of a couple that would beget a child. Same sex couples can't join their DNA to beget offspring, so the need to define a legal union between two men or two women as "marriage" seems silly to me in the same sense that
Kettering Health Network refers to Charles F. Kettering as their namesake is silly.
The concept of "LOVE" being the basis of a marriage is not in any book I ever read in my studies of Medieval Literature.
Now that I think of it, why do people get married in churches, traditionally, at least? There seems to be something regarding "separation of church and state" that makes the government's weighing in on defining marriage problematic, but what do I know?
I got married because I saw myself having children with the person I loved. I've not had relations outside my marriage, and I find the concept of "open marriages" rather bizarre. Maybe I'm dull, but I find that I have enough to do with my wife that I don't need to consider the rise in VD cases as reason for monogamy.
A final thought, the old factual saying of "half of all marriages end in divorce" further makes "marriage" seem silly, objectively speaking, thus begs the question, what will gay marriage do to make the world better? Add more divorces for lawyers to collect huge fees, right?
I'm a romantic and won't mock love regardless of whether or not I understand it. I just see the argument as being cynical.
