Is there any line you would draw, beyond which marriage is not acceptable?[quote]
Are you saying that the only reason YOU haven't married your dog is that it is illegal? (actually, in many states, sex with animals is not illegal, just because they realize there is no need for such a law)
Or are you saying that there is a large number of others in this country that would marry (or have sex with) their dogs if there weren't laws against it?
As Dave Barry said in Reason Magazine a few years back,
"You want a horrible system, because you think the people should be able to vote for laws they want, and if more than half of them voted for some law, everyone would have to do what they said. Then they could pass a law so that you had to have sex with dogs."
Do you want a system that would force people to have sex with dogs?
All of this stuff is just ridiculous.
What gives the government the power to determine who you fall in love with? Why is it the business of anyone other than yourself and your significant other(s) (and your church if you so choose) who you have a relationship with?
