No Marriage for You!by: Dean BarkerSat Nov 29, 2008 at 21:13:11 PM EST |
The Monitor takes on Jim Splaine's push to get the ball rolling on a marriage bill, and an odd line issues forth:
In [Rep. David] Hess's view, marriage is a traditional, Judeo-Christian institution between a man and woman. "I don't think that definition of marriage should be expanded," he said.That's an awful lot of Chinese and Indian and Muslim and and ancient Greek and Roman marriages he's negated, just to name a few non-Judaeo-Christian societies that have had the institution of marriage for millenia. No marriage for you, Baucis and Philemon! |
