Ah yes, now I remember why I never joined any debate teams.... You're absolutely right. My use of the word "culture" was unwise. My point (I'll try to state it well) was simply this: marriage as it is LEGALLY recognized in most of these United States carries a certain degree of privelege and respect. Denying anybody this opportunity on the basis of sexual preference is discriminatory. Polygamy strikes me as another issue entirely, because you're talking about changing the institution, rather than those who are entitled to participate in the institution. My original post was simply to encourage people to contact Roy Romer and urge him to veto the anti-marriage bill. I guess I felt beholden to reply to the "polygamy" issue because you brought it up in response to my post. I stand by my original views, but ask to politely and respectfully bow out of the usual news group banter. Go all others, and debate in peace! -- Nina
