An article on the front page of www.somd.com caught my eye.
We don't live in a theocracy. We have separation of church and state. So why is the state involved in marriage at all. It's a religious institution.

A read of this article conveys that much time and money has been wasted by government on this. This is unethical and un-american. We believe in limited government and individual liberty.
Now, until we are able to withdraw government's control of marriage, we at least should not allow it to re-define it.
