V,

I notice we -- you and me -- have been agreein' more and more.

Better watch it or you might get labeled 'anarchistic sociopath' too.

Clod,

Here's the thread: http://www.freethought-forum.com/for...=25598&page=17

I weigh in with post 419.

Most of what follows my initial post in the thread I assess as nonsensical.

Grave,

I admit it: I'm no fan of marriage, but I'm not anti-marriage either.

Just not seein' the huge advantage to gov-regulated marriage (more accurately, the advantage seems outweighed by the oversight), especially for a group of folks who -- despite makin' a great deal of cultural headway -- are still seen as 'other'.

Suggesting to 'freethinkers' that mebbe one can D.I.Y. and sidestep the state (and gettin' the reaction I did) illustrates, I think, how deep the infection of 'society' (instead of civilization) is and how little 'individual means' are respected.

What I draw from the later part of the linked thread is: 'without the sanction of the state, I am nuthin'.'

Of course, I'm biased (bein' bigoted and sociopathic).

IM,

"You need to stop hanging out at IdgitsForum.com"

HA!

Tell me how to get off planet Dirt cuz that's the only way to avoid 'idgitery'.

#

Monster,

"...it should be available to gays as well as ungays."

Sure.

Someday it will be.

My post simply pointed out that for those who are tired of waitin', who place little premium on what 'the people' say, there is another option.
