While I agree that in the moral sense, this is indeed a slope that is part of a whole mountain range of slopes. Even down to your handle...what is the point of implying that you are physically appealing? (That is not an attack...I just cannot imagine Martha Washington choosing a handle like Gorjus...it is a sign of the times)

But I think legally there is a specific point at which the slope starts. Yes, the redefinition of marriage is part of a bigger picture, both legally and morally, but it is also somthing very narrow and specific. We had a man and woman definition defined by our judeo-christian religious heritage. We have abondoned that...for what? Our religious roots no longer provide the line...what does now? And I think that is a question that those removing the old line have to answer. A quick survey will show that on a global basis polygamy is far more accepted than homosexuality (think Muslim world), why aren't polygamists entitled to the same 'equal protection' as gays?

Actually, it's a lot more convoluted than that. I set up this account for my wife - and I do indeed consider her physically appealing. She posts sometimes, but I started posting using her 'handle' just for convenience. Now, looking back, it's clear I've posted more than she has - yet if I changed to a more correct screen name, I'd face the 'joined on 5/26/04' attack. And frankly, regardless of the screen name, I'm not ashamed of what I've posted and don't see any need to disclaim it.

All of which is yet another example of a 'slippery slope.'

Oh, by the way, I would not claim that I am physically appealing - not even to my blushing bride. Thankfully she's not all that worried about the way I look.
