Well Scott, it sounds to me like you and Joe base your thinking on your feelings on any given day. This is why I was asking him about the declaration and how it applied to a variation of this discussion. My thoughts on the matter are that the government should not be in the business of sanctioning relationships of any kind. As far as equal rights go, what's OK for a man & a women should be good for a man & a man. Or a man & a man & a man. Or a woman, a snake & a apple. Just how equal do you want to get? My objections stem from problems that I see when it comes to insurance, social security, inheritance, and child custody along with a host of other issues. Same gender marriage will cause far more problems then it will solve. To call my argument weak and base your assertion on your "feelings" all the while offering no coherent argument of your own (in fact stating that with regard to a large portion of the discussion that you have "no opinion") seems a mite vapid. Perhaps the reason that you have no opinion and Joe elects to stick with one issue at a time is because you all are waiting for someone to tell you which way the wind is blowing?

  This is the same weak argument that Dale Courtney and Doug Wilson offer up.  Do you, Gary, believe that polygamy (including all same sex polygamy) should be legalized in the name of equal rights?  Yes or No?

  I support equal rights under the law for same sex couples.  I have no opinion about legalizing polygamy.  Make your case for polygamous equality compared to a marriage between two consenting adults and I might form one.

    So Joe, If the Declaration of Independence is to be your ultimate guide in 
    this matter, I am sure that you have no objection to three men/women who 
    love and respect one another enjoying the right to marriage and their own 
    version of the pursuit of happiness. After all, why should couples enjoy 
    special rights? Like you say, equal rights for all.
