Nonsense. To use your analogy I see the boat sinking and do not think it wise to set the boat on fire. You make a breathtaking straw man argument. To talk of a constitutional amendment to ban bastardy, or divorce is idiotic and you know it. Most of the factors affecting those are beyond law and in the realm of culture.

As a physician, my first rule is " do no harm". When I can't cure a patient, I am obligated to do my best not to harm that patient. By encouraging further social decay gay marriage is a harm to society. Defining marriage by a civilized standard going back thousands of years does no harm, and may help to protect that society.

As to addressing the problems that affect children, first off I walk the talk as the married father of two. I've taught my kids to respect marriage and try to do the same when it's their turn. I support organizations such as the Boy Scouts who are trying to instill traditional values in children. I support laws that strengthen those values, oppose those that don't and vote for politicians who support my viewpoint to the extent possible.

I'm a physician I live in a practical world where I try to do the possible.

You make innane arguments and faulty assumptions, are you a lawyer, or a liberal?

Neither a lawyer nor a liberal. Just tired of people throwing stones in glass houses.

It would be quite easy to change divorce laws, but I see no effort to do that. And that is the primary problem for children. But, as changing divorce laws would be a solution that would limit the choices for a majority of us, better to go for the easy mark and just limit the choices of others, and claim that the problem is fixed.

I guess the next couple of years will determine if society goes to hell in a handbasket because gay people get married. When the gay folk who do get married in those few places where they will be allowed to move out and become neighbors to us straight married folk, we will see just how much worse the lives of children become.

In the meantime, you go about your business, rasin hell about gay folk gettin married, while the lives of children are being wrecked, not by gay marriage, but by divorce.
