Agreed. But the laws of today have to apply to society as we know of today. I'm all for forward progress but we can't make laws for how our evolved selves. In 10 years same opposing sex marriage might the same as opposing interrac

Perhaps something like " allowing same sex marriage today will lead to humans marrying animals tomorrow " is a fallacy. This seems very well reasoned. I hope you're not implying that we can't make reasoned assumptions an

That's a good point. I guess I counted it because it visually drained my savings. It felt different to see my savings account dwindle than it did to simply spend $ from paychecks. But I think you're right that it's money whic

But you did. What the communication accomplished was getting others who otherwise might not have heard about or cared enough to do something to take measures in fixing it. That's an enormous win.
