[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1414322, member: 19397"] I always question the validity of those types of articles and wonder how much of it is just for shock value to get their reader base riled up, therefore, getting people to read more articles. The important piece for gay marriage was the ability for those people to get the same benefits afforded to straight couples when it comes to insurance, death benefits, making advanced medical decisions, etc. Before that was enacted there were some states where a person could be forcibly removed from the side of their loved one who was dying b/c the family didn't like it. Think of it what you will, I don't expect you to agree with it, but everyone, who is on the right side of the law, deserves the same rights as everyone else (per the constitution article 14). The reason that marrying a car, animal, etc will never fly is that there is no economic benefit from it. You can't receive insurance benefits from your car, your car can't make decisions about medical directives, etc. Any sane law maker will laugh them out of their office. Polygamy may or may not fly, who knows, and honestly who cares. If those people want to live like that, they leave me alone, AND they are all consenting adults (the most important piece) then who cares? The thing that blows me away the most with this is that the taxpayers are on the hook for this idiot. Real money is being wasted to keep him locked up and will be used to prosecute him. In the grand scheme of life, who really cares what he does to a chicken. [/QUOTE]
