In other words, do I believe in majority rule? Sure, if we ever get to the point where enough Amercians want to marry their cars, I guess they can change the law to do so. Just don't make me pay alimony to my 1976 Gremlin, OK?

I don't. I believe in a free republic. This is not a socialist country based on mob rule.
If homosexuals marry, the law says equal protection. To not allow other fetishes their right to marry would be discrimination based on how they choose to have sex (with whatever).

If we allow one dysfunctional sex fetish to be called marriage, we must do so for them all, no matter how small their number.

Ok, you got me there. We can both agree that a majority has some rights that minorities only envy. And that's the way the gay marriage debate is being framed in the media by its advocates. If there had been, by some miracle, 67 votes for the FMA today, it would have been painted as "mob rule running roughshod over gay rights."

Be glad that the liberals have been lulled into indifference this fall. You wouldn't want to see them when they're angry! ;)

Lawrence vs. Texas talked about consenting adult homosexuality, nothing else. Equal protection would not automatically accrue to other forms of sexuality. Besides, what do I care what a man wants to do with his Ford Probe, in the sanctity of his (shades pulled down, please!) garage?
