The desecration of marraige

[giza]

Conservatives just love to complain about same-sex marriages because they say it would "desecrate the institution of marriage". Well, judging from this article on CNN, they don't need our help to make marriage a joke since heterosexual couples are doing that well enough on their own. Here are some quotes from the article:

Britney Spears' two-day-old marriage to a childhood friend was dissolved Monday shortly after the pop superstar filed for an annulment, claiming she didn't fully understand what she was doing when she got hitched on the spur of the moment.

I guess "'till death do us part" is a bit hard to comphrehend these days, huh. Then there was this:

"It was just crazy, man," the 22-year-old told "Access Hollywood" in an interview at his home Monday morning. "And we were just looking at each other and said, 'Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it.' "

According to the petition, "Before entering into the marriage the plaintiff and defendant did not know each other's likes and dislikes, each other's desires to have or not have children, and each other's desires as to state of residency. Upon learning of each other's desires, they are so incompatible that there was a want of understanding of each other's actions in entering into this marriage."

Wow. Just... wow. That blows my mind how someone can up and decided to get married with no planning whatsoever. I've seen PHBs that have more foresight than that!

I shouldn't be allowed to have this much fun on Mondays!
