The federal government is considering whether marriage, the foundation of civilization since Creation, should be reserved solely to a man and a woman.
You know, from the tone, I'm not sure if they're for or against it. I mean, after all, historically speaking, marriage was usually between a man and his wives/concubines.
Hey, if it means getting them out of here, I'll chip in a few bucks. I hear Bikini Atoll has some lovely weather.
And for the first few centuries of Christianity, marriage was a civil matter, rather than a religious one. I'm always amazed at how little history people like this actually know.
