I agree. Look how it turned out the last time an amendment was passed to control people's behavior.
Today, when a concerned effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals - that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government - that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizens's protection against the government.--Ayn Rand, "The Nature of Government", 1964
The ammendment does not act to limit the actions of individuals, they can shack up and call it whatever they like.
By defining marriage to one man/one woman it limits the federal government (and judiciary) from extending federal recognition and benefits willy nilly to any couple that demands it.
....a charter of the citizens's protection against the government.....
We need this amendment to protect us from Government forcing gay marriage on the majority who oppose it.
get it now? or do you approve of forced beliefs?
