Everyone is focused on just extending the status quo by granting marriage benefits to more people rather than first asking if having the benefits makes sense and/or what's the purpose and is it working? Applying what's happening with the marriage discussion to the illegal substance arena, without taking a moment to pause and reflect, we'd be clamoring for extending and banning alcohol and more substances instead of considering repealing bans on some/other drugs (marijuana in particular).
