Children that grow up with two parents have less social pathologies. That has been a fact known since the early 70's. If you have a problem with statistics, then your anecdotal tale is worse than worthless in policy discussions.

And while courts are part of the government, they are not the entire government. So if the other branches, executive and legislative, would get off their duffs and do their jobs to rein in there out of control colleagues, we would not have a problem.

As to why the government, why does the government control borders (theoretically) or police the streets? Because government's job is to protect our people and out cultural institutions.

"Children that grow up with two parents have less social pathologies. That has been a fact known since the early 70's. If you have a problem with statistics, then your anecdotal tale is worse than worthless in policy discussions."

The first sentence does not answer my question, nor does it contradict my point. So, I don't understand your frustration. What we wrote is in agreement, but you apparently misread what I wrote.

"And while courts are part of the government, they are not the entire government. So if the other branches, executive and legislative, would get off their duffs and do their jobs to rein in there out of control colleagues, we would not have a problem."

So are you retracting your earlier assertion? "we can trust the government to uphold that standard because no people has ever voted for homosexual marriage."

"Because government's job is to protect our people and out cultural institutions."

I disagree. Government's purpose is to serve as a body in which we vest our rights to self defense from force, fraud or coercion and we vest our rights to determine rules regarding use of public property.

Have you notice how the PC police no longer say "mother" or "father" only "parent"

This is to newter the genders in order to make it two whatevers. I would like to see the next course after FMA to be making homosexual adoptions illegal. A child should have one mother and one father. A homosexual recreational sex partner does not equal a mother/father.
