And every once in a while a guy tries to sue Hooters because they only hire girls and that's sexist. We don't make Hooters illegal. There are already gay churches. Gay people can get married there, or at a oourthouse. If gay marriage is legal, there will be a market for gay wedding services. People who want to make money will perform gay weddings. Can you be for government endorsed religion enforced relationship protection discrimination? |
QFT. This is always the most bullshit argument against gay marriage, that churches will have to marry gay people. Civil marriage and religious marriage are two separate things entirely. No one is forcing churches to do anything.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
