Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn.
Biological imperatives trump laws. American government cannot fight against marriage and hope to endure. If the Constitution is defined in such a way as to destroy the privileged position of marriage, it is that insane Constitution, not marriage, that will die.

Either way, I am not your target, so "Get it right...THIS is how YOU fail.
Also: I am not in any way trying to "string Card up" for anything - I can, however, recognize an authentic voice when I hear it, and I said so. The rest of it is your own...product
This, too, is how you fail.
