In other words....”How to break down our society in one easy lesson.”
“Under our approach, the only legal status states would confer on couples would be a civil union, which would be a domestic partnership agreement between any two people,” the authors of Nudge promise. In an asterisk attached to that sentence just quoted the authors set off more alarm bells.
“We duck the question of whether civil unions can involve more than two people,” they admit. Judges with lifetime appointments have not been known to duck such questions.
So then marriage as we know it will just not exist in the law if these people have their way. That side steps the issue of same-sex marriage, because marriage itself won’t be a state or governmental issue any longer. How clever of them. Yep, we should leave it up to the scuba diving club to decide if their members can be “married”.
But in the end, judges could still come along and declare a 2 person civil union discriminatory against those who want more than 1 other partner.
Richard “Hey” Thaler is a behavioral finance professor at UofC. Again, a professor that is opining outside of his area of expertise.
His solution is not meant to be optimal, simply a way to minimize costs.
But why not take away all laws governing sex with children? That would lower the number of court cases as well. But, Professor Thaler, reducing costs is not the only criteria.
The whole argument is nonsense.
Homosexuals are not having any rights denied them, they are free to marry.. they just have to do it with someone of the opposite sex if they wish it state recognized. They choose not to do that, that isn’t an infringement on their rights.
The only reason the state has any interest in a marriage at all is because a true marriage can functionally produce offspring.. homomsexuals doing whatever they do to each other can do that all they want and will not get pregnant. A government/society does have an interest in the next generation so there is an argument for state recognition of marriage... For its own self propetuation. Gays cannot reproduce naturally by the same constructs, so there is absolutely no reason for the state to sanction or give a rats arse about their relationship.
Its a complete red herring, no ones rights are being trampled and there is no reason the state should give a care what 2 people are doing with each other.
Exactly. As goes our marriages, so goes America.
From a social, moral, economic and political standpoint, marriages matter to the viability of the US.
This is true of any country. Throughout history.
It is no accident that feminism and homosexuals have convinced the government to destabilize marriages with no fault divorces, civil unions, welfare checks replacing fathers and on and on.
And as a direct result of the breakdown of marriage, we have a breakdown of America. Clinton and Clinton is a perfect case in point of the political fallout that comes as a result of our disintergation.
Remember the recent study showing 112 Billion Dollars per year is wasted annually by bastard chidlren?
Marriage Matters.
Our prison are full of felons from broken homes.
Marriage Matters.
Our schools are turning out idiots who can’t read. Why? They come from broken homes.
Marriage Matters.
I could go on and on with more points but either you get it or you don’t.
As goes our marriages... so goes America.
Why? Marriage is a covenant between man, woman, and God. If that covenant requires (or, indeed, allows) the state to recognize it, then society is already breaking down, irrespective of the recognition.
