A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

scotus says marriage is a fundamental right
homosexual relationships are no more unstable than heterosexual relationships.
I am curious, and have never been given an answer to this question:
If we allow gay marriage, what is the worst that will happen? I am not talking about forcing churches to participate in gay weddings against their will. Just allowing gay marriage.
What will happen that is bad?
I can answer this since I asked the same question till I finaly got an answer.
The FEAR is that if we allow gay marriage, we can't stop polygamy. Don't ask me, that is what the fundamentalists are afraid of. Like most rightwing fears, it makes no sense whatsoever, since polygamy is illegal in all 50 states.
It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.
Yeah, that is as logical as Dixie's "If we allow that someone will want to marry their mailbox".
Apparently the concept of "two consenting adult" doesn't register. But you know, as long as all parties in the polgamous marriage are aware and willing, I personally see no problem with that either. I see that as another example of the gov't interfering where it doesn't belong.

My point is equality. If everyone is equal before the law then the law should apply equally to everyone. If two things are the same it's illogical to refer to them by different names. If marriage and a civil contract between two homosexuals are supposed to be the same then call them by the same name. It's that simple.

'promote the general welfare' is not a power prescribed to the government. It's a general order to define how the government is supposed to use the powers assigned to it, in promoting the general welfare. Health care under promoting the general welfare would be ensuring that doctors are free to treat their patients the best way they know how, not to write policies and procedures as if they were a government agency.
