Call it what you will. Yes, it’s disgusting ....but it’s NOT marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman.

“Gay marriage” has two purposes:

1. To create a positive perception of people with a disgusting, addictive mental illness.

2. To force a legal framework on employers which forces them to pay for treating the illnesses which male homosexuals pass around their ranks.

I cannot disagree with what you say. I am having a difficult time reconciling my adherence to the principle of strictly limited government with the restriction of freedoms vis-a-vis persons with a sexual deviancy. But, at any rate, the government has no business explicitly sanctioning such unions.

What the answer is, I don't know. But somewhere between the Islamic societies throwing them off rooftops and ours overtly condoning such sickness.

Prohibition isn’t dead in Minnesota either. Liquor stores must be closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It only took 135 years for Minnesota to permit Sunday liquor sales and Minnesota is the only state in the union to still have that Prohibition anachronism 3.2 beer. The government still has an iron hand on liquor in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota.

And if you’re a regular at a bar and they know you, you can probably buy it today “under the table”.

(Assuming bars are open today; the article only mentions liquor stores.)

Sundays were quiet, relaxing. Church, big Sunday dinner, maybe watch a game or go visit Grandma and Grandpa. A day of rest as God commanded, so people were refreshed for the next week of work either out in the world, or at home with the children. I miss that as well.

You can buy it the day or week or month before.

Functioning alcoholics plan ahead.

And if not, the alcoholic's secret:

It's 50 proof, tastes like schnaps, will get you plenty f'ed up. And the explosive diarrhea that follows drinking it really cleans out the pipes.

Plus, after you vomit, you'll still have minty fresh breath.

And you can buy it in Texas on Sunday.
