Does a Gay Marriage ...

Has anyone mentioned the fact the these unions [outside of marriage of one man and one woman] would further affect our social security problem, our health insurance rates and other markets? People who are not not able to share benefits would be able to get in on the "family" plan.

What affect would that have on the economy?

How much would it cost to re-write and re-publish the tax code?

Just a thought...

I noticed that when I was on vactaion that several convenience stores we stopped at had condom machines in the bathroms. I thought it was odd. While I already teach my children (9 and 11) about condoms etc. I really didn't like them staring them in the face while we made a pee pee stop.
