What do you think about the Gay Marriage

I look at it this way...

They're 'first class citizens' when it comes to all the stuff that the rest of us have to do...pay taxes, etc...but when it comes to those things that are needed to protect the one that you love...they become second class citizens...

Don't we have more important things to worry about than if Steve and Earl get married?

Like the millions of illegal immigrants that are in this country?
Our messed up health care system that is about as far from logic as one can get...(Ie state funded health care plans that will pay for viagra, but not birth control)
The fact that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of teachers, teaching the leaders of tomorrow, and they can barely write a proposal for funding, making sure the grammar is correct, and using the handy new tool...spell check.

I think it's a case of 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'...and the Fundamental Xtian right seems to be yelling quite loudly...
If more people who disagreed with those views got of their arse and voted, the 'powers that be' would actually be concerned with being voted out of office if they didn't please the constituents.

My own personal opinion...if you don't vote, you have no right to bitch about the handbasket we're in - or the side trip to hell we're taking.
