105. nice argument
I'm convinced

FYI, the left is mocked by the neocons NO MATTER WHAT THE FUCK WE DO OR SAY--not because of our ideas, but because we are the enemy and they are engaged in a one-sided, no-holds-barred PR war against us.

Try this again. A couple of days ago on NPR, I heard a spokesperson (an attorney I believe) for one of the couples who brought the Massachusetts lawsuit. She made a compelling, logical argument why the state has no right to require that "marriage" be between differently sexed people. Then she added "...as long as it is two people."

My question is why two? The only arguments I can come up with in support of two as the magic number all boil down to the fact that it (traditionally) takes two to reproduce. Yet, the crux of her articulate argument was that marriage is, in fact, NOT about reproduction.

So why two, you completely unWACKY economic justice person you?
