defending marriage
well, gay people getting married is a big story in america, but if you really want to get to the whole sanctity of marriage question, perhaps a quick glance across the equator will shed some light:

according to the article, if this goes through, that will leave malta (a mediterranean island-nation “slightly less than twice the size of washington, dc”) as the only democratic nation without legal divorce.
perhaps there’s enough room on this democratic bastion of solid marriage values for all the righteous sanctity of marriage advocates?
