My opinion on marriage is that it's really none of the government's business. I know they determine benefits based on marriage, and I think that's messed up. I think you should be able to choose if you want someone to share benefits with you, regardless of the relationship. You know like if you go to a party and the invitation says it's for you and a guest? That way, people can choose a spouse or a partner or an elderly parent or a sibling or an adult child or whoever. Government really has no business deciding who should or should not be married. What ever happened to separation of church and state?
I don't know if next year's Junior Junior can top this year's. RIP.
I want to vote against just to piss off the bishop.
No, that's not the only reason. But every time I get lectured about this, I have a desire to vote no and send a copy of my ballot to him. I dread going to church this weekend. I accepted the Catholic Church's rules about marriage when I joined, but that doesn't mean their rules should be implemented on everybody else. (I suspect I'm a very bad Catholic, though. :P)
I never get around to early voting, though. I think it's because if I don't go to that silly church at least every other year, I'll forget which turn to take. :)
