Don't we have enough to worry about in this crazy post 9/11 world?!?! Real issues like the homeless, the elderly, and healthcare. Lets not forget national security and education as well! These are the things our government should be worried about and spending money on! Certainly not on issues such as when 2 private people, hetro or homosexual, want to make a lasting commitment to each other. I say: "God bless anyone, whatever their sexual orientation, if they can find true love and happiness with each other". Stop worrying about what your neighbor is doing behind closed doors! It does not concern or affect you, be more concerned with how the government is wasting millions of dollars and hundreds of young lives in a senseless conflict in Iraq. (before we finished a job we had a right and responsibilty to the thousands who were killed to finish in Afghanistan!!) Money that could be better spent balancing our national debt, or towards research for a million different diseases. To quote a couple of tired and old cliche's "live and let live" and "love and be loved". Gay, White, Black, Jewish, Muslim, Who cares!!

So, which group is actually upholding this ceremony, this union, this "holy" contract? Where is this country going if we are attempting to withold a basic right from 10% of our citizens with a constitutional amendment? I also fail to see what is so threatening about two people wanting to demonstrate their love for each other by contracting to live together "for better or worse until death do we part". It seems to me one the basics of what life is about. And if two people can love each other enough to forge into this type of commitment, what does it matter what sex the partners are? I consider them lucky to have found each other. Hiram:
