IMHO, there was no "before marriage." And, in the opinions/faith/belief of billions born to this world over the last several thousand years, there was no "before marriage." The story of the first man and the first woman (belive you it to be Adam and Eve, or Adam and Lilith, or whomever) states that God (Elohim, or Alah, or whomever) married them in the Garden of Eden. So any cohabitation that occured happened AFTER marriage. <BR/><BR/>I also question your reporting of wedding rings as slave symbols and taking the last name of your spouse as a slave practice. I would be interested in reading your sources on these and other matters you've mentioned.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I, a native Californian (though no longer living there), and a life-long LDS heterosexual married parent of 5, do not agree with the idea of limiting legal rights to heterosexual couples only. Nor do I support the idea of using State Funds to change text books, law books, and the like to reflect that. I just wish people would look at every issue on every ballot as a legal and fiscal issue, not just an emotional one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-53311061558347817782008-11-06T06:16:00.000-08:002008-11-06T06:16:00.000-08:00both leave it to beaver and jonny lingo! mahona yo...both leave it to beaver and jonny lingo! mahona you ugly! always a favoriteAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928267911597159927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-68905609805469490812008-11-06T06:15:00.000-08:002008-11-06T06:15:00.000-08:00i loved that show growing up.i loved that show growing up.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928267911597159927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-32249582268760107992008-11-03T12:32:00.000-08:002008-11-03T12:32:00.000-08:00My argument has always been that heterosexuals are...My argument has always been that heterosexuals are doing a pretty good job of "destroying" the traditional family without any help from homosexuals. <BR/><BR/>When I was teaching sociology I would always show a video about hate crimes and the main story was about a gay man who was murdered. One of my students asked to be excused from watching the video because she thought homosexuality was evil. The video wasn't about homosexual relationships. It was about all of the things we had been studying in class: stereotypes, subcultures, mores, folkways, socialization, language, criminal behavior, etc. She asked to be excused for religious reasons. I gave her another assignment to make up for the points because no matter what I said she was convinced the video would be offensive because there was a story about a homosexual in it. Some people are convinced that the sanctity of marriage is about a proposition on a ballot about homosexuality rather than kindness, respect, sacrifice, selflessness, commitment, fidelity, communication, and generosity. <BR/><BR/>Your post was an excellent illustration of socialization. I would always give my students a writing exercise in how opinions are formed. This would be an excellent lead in to that assignment. Too bad I'm not teaching right now.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005745378829802083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-91949327078913499242008-11-03T11:10:00.000-08:002008-11-03T11:10:00.000-08:00well since this is my blog and i find your substan...well since this is my blog and i find your substance-less criticisms just awfully annoying, i'm asking you not to leave comments anymore. future comments like these are just going to be deleted.the narratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774503436545764912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-15682353275994781512008-11-03T10:32:00.000-08:002008-11-03T10:32:00.000-08:00what is this? another criticism from hatemonger la...what is this? another criticism from hatemonger lacking substance? why are we not surprised?the narratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774503436545764912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-9656619495945619692008-11-03T10:15:00.000-08:002008-11-03T10:15:00.000-08:00please stop the spin i think i am going to throw u...please stop the spin i think i am going to throw upAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063106.post-13116093157986158782008-11-02T21:49:00.000-08:002008-11-02T21:49:00.000-08:00Good point.
