Bravo.<br /><br />I must say, though, these new viewpoints don't seem to coexist with your opinion of Rilla's brother.Jeremy Beernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-15874252361144863472011-08-01T16:35:59.524-07:002011-08-01T16:35:59.524-07:00Exactly.Exactly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932547748512752260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-24514394593428114502011-07-29T09:36:05.983-07:002011-07-29T09:36:05.983-07:00Agreed. I'm fairly certain the Declaration of...Agreed. I'm fairly certain the Declaration of Independence said "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." If what makes you happy is another person of your same sex, then more power to you. I would think in such a "civilized" country where people are allowed to think, act, do, as they see fit, and that is something you have built the basis of your country on, then no one should be denied their choice to like/love/marry who they see fit. I just wish that all the religious people who make such a big fuss over this would just keep it to themselves. They certainly don't appreciate it when people get on their case over their beliefs, but they never seem to have a problem letting someone know when what they are doing goes against all their religious principles. Marraige is a right of the people, and as such should be governed by the laws of the nation. You are required to pay the state that you get married in a fee for a license in order to get married. You don't pay the church, you pay the state. So it's really just a matter of the government dragging its feet and not having the stones to enact policy.Garrett McCallumnoreply@blogger.com
