45 states have tried to create a marriage protection act. Most of them passed favorably by the voters. The Federal courts have shot them all down as being unconstitutional. This in spite of the fact that it was the will of the voters. The courts are reaching beyond their authority. They are supposed to interpret law not make law, so under what precedent are the states required to honor the courts who are acting beyond their constitutional rights. And the congress in turn fails to pass the beginning legislation to amend the constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. It has been made clear that this concern over the attack on the institution of marriage is a overwhelming concern to the American populace but our government fails to respond in kind. Tell me then in what regard are we then under a representative form of government. I think its time we send a message to these conservative and liberal republicans and democrat5s that we ain't gonna put up with this crap. ??

It is said that 'marriage is an institution'. I ask, "Who wants to be institutionalized?". Let's take a Good Hard Look at some of the other marriage laws that are out there, I'm a big fan of 'no fault divorce', Clinton pushed for 'deadbeat dads', which I think is positive, if you can't feed em, don't breed em, marriage is a cornerstone of society, so it deserves some respect and reverence in the eyes of the law, but anymore our politicians seem hell-bent on promoting 'growth'. Grow, grow, GROW, america! And, I think the marraige bill is part of that, Bush wants you to get hitched and have that wife and 2.5 and fall over dead at the jobsite like a Good Citizen. 'Alternative lifestyles' are on the increase, though, they say 1 in 4 adults lives alone, now, and that's on the rise. Republicans still want that 2.5 out of you, though, and if they're not getting what they want, you're not getting what YOU want. I think the proposed legislation is in response to this trend, that more and more, people really don't want to see our country become as overcrowded as(insert name of destitute, polluted 3rd world country HERE), and have generally decided against having kids in a country that's teeming now with illegal immigrants, complete with school overcrowding, rising unemployment problems, companies moving overseas, the whole trip. Teem, immigrants, teem! LOL Oh, that representation thing? You only qualify for representation if you've got 4 or more kids, or alternatively 3.4 million in the bank. Sorry. LOLOLOL

What attack on the institution of Marriage, and when did marriage become an institution? What happened to equal rights? And any ways the will of America can be overturned by the constitution...its there for a reason. Hate and fear can be quite deadly.

All marriages are mixed marriages, especially those between a man and a woman.
