I don’t know why you’re intent on labeling me, but that’s okay too.

Marriage was not found to be the union of mixed-race couples until judicial activists decided to do so.

If you think interracial marriage should have been put to a vote rather than decided by courts, then your position is consistent. It would mean that interracial couples would have been denied the right to marry until about the 1990s, according to all the poll data regarding attitudes about interracial marriage. Some people think that would have been the better course of action, and we can agree to disagree.

I’m certainly no math whiz. My husband is, so I’ll have him check my post for mathematical errors. :)

Have your husband check your processor. Communicating with you is very difficult, you accept no inputs and output the same bad data repeatedly.

Perhaps he can reboot you?

I'd like to see this data (including the exact wording of the question). I don't buy it for a minute.

BTW, for what it's worth, I am of the opinion that the government should have nothing to do with marriage except allowing individuals to designate heirs, 'next of kin' status, etc., to whomever they want -- most of which can probably be done right now via wills, contracts, powers of attorney, and so on.
