ironically, i wish the amendment had included forbidding homosexual acts, etc, it would have guaranteed a kerry landslide.....i could have envisioned bob sheiffer in debate asking bush or kerry "what they consider a homosexual act" or did you mr president or mr kerry ever masturbate, if so how can you propose banning it..alas....

I suggested that an amicable solution between the heterosexual majority and the minority of homosexuals would be to create a new "institution", name it "Garriage", which would take care of some rights and duties of same sex couples in some civil and tax issues. Why is that not acceptable, in lieu of fooling around with the constitution? I think homosexual should yield the term "marriage" to heterosexuals, since we have had "copyrights" on that institution for a good 3000 years. Do you find any fault with such an approach in lieu of a constitutional amendment?

"be consistent and have the same amendment forbidding masturbation (and get the feds into our teenagers' bedrooms with cameras to enforce it)

Yes, JUST the teenagers......OK?
