Today's cynical thought to grow on:

Marriage does not equal love. Marriage equals the luxury of certain rights, such as insurance stuff (which, to my vague understanding, doesn't necessarily require marriage anymore) and the right to visit your mate in the ICU. The reason why I support gay marriage is because of equality - gays should be allowed to enter into an antiquated institution just like everyone else, dammit.

CORRECT. Thou shalt not pass laws (or refuse to pass laws) that result in the creation of second-class citizens! Who gets hurt if everybody gets to get married? NOOOOOOOOOBODY!!!!

Jon Stewart really nailed it when he was talking to... that guy... uh.., meh, some political dumbfuck who opposes gay marriage. Jon just puts it to him like, "Here's what I just can't get past. You're saying that if two women have been together for 50 years, and one gets sick, the other one can't visit her in the hospital? I just can't get past that." And all the guy could do was hem and haw because how on earth are you supposed to respond to that without looking like a gigantic asshole? That's right, boys and girls... you can't. Should we be gleaning something from that?

/end rant! Expect some mail soon!

Mail received, appreciated, and generally adored! It is now your sacred duty to answer your cell phone and prove that you are dead!

Also, I love Jon Stewart in so many ways.

. . . uh, Freudian slip much? I would much prefer that you prove you are NOT dead.
