[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 798205, member: 2189"] The solution is to get the gov't completely out of it to begin with. Even most gay people understand that marriage as an institution is mostly a religious ceremony and prior to gov't intervention in it, was a purely private matter and as it pertains to the state issued no privilege as a result of marriage. So-called progressives of the time feared not only interracial marriage but even some feared a watering down of protestant christian customs as an influx of eastern European catholics immigrated to America in the 19th century. This was a driving force behind the marriage license as it was in many respects with mandatory public education as well. That same crowd of elites also ascribed to the then growing science of Eugenics but were set back by the actions of a certain tyrannt with mustache that wrecks havoc in the early to mid 20th century. And some of you see the word progressive and think in modern terms but if you read of it and who followed it in it's origins in the 19th century, you might not like what you read as some are your heros! :happy-very: Also the marriage license, etc. is a 100% pure profit business because even if not one person comes in, the taxpayer still foots the bill for the entire operation. Now if you want to discuss the marriage license process being self sustaining, that's a whole other matter and your point likely holds true and I would agree with you over the point DS made. [/QUOTE]
