The problem with power is that people don't like giving it up once they have it, and that applies even more to bureaucracies like the federal government.<br /><br />Kruse: I was not aware that was on the agenda, but then, all the more reason to get the government out of the marriage business entirely. Thanks for the catch, I must've gotten my McG-wires crossed! (see what I did there? hahaha) I'd actually like Klaich's input on this, to get some perspective from both sides of the issue (and I'm assuming he was against Prop 8 here, I haven't talked to him about it).<br /><br />Regine: I doubt we're the first two to come up with this plan, but it definitely needs to be shared. I really think this is something both sides of the debate could agree on a lot sooner than whatever decision is made in the federal court.<br /><br />Moose and Metasapien: Thanks!Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622313946195004021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270059984080993141.post-64191441053219939792010-01-12T14:29:38.095-08:002010-01-12T14:29:38.095-08:00Nice.

I like your theory on how the State became involved in the definition of marriage and how religious institutions seem to give credibility to this definition. One thing to consider is that Prop 8 also included legislation changing the way marriage is taught in public schools. Many Californians were upset that their children would be indoctrinated about something that should be reserved for their own, chosen religion. That, in itself, seems to be a governmental effort to merge Church and State (or to remove completely Church from the equation). What do you think? I wonder what our old buddy Chris Klaich would think? Ps - It is Mark McGwire, not Tony McGwire. Hope you're loving life in France and accomplishing great things. I appreciate the blog. It offers some good food-for-thought.Krusehttp://none.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270059984080993141.post-83996217658931716292010-01-11T21:44:22.621-08:002010-01-11T21:44:22.621-08:00David,
