Ethical Govt. & Gay Marriage?!

This was a cynical ploy, conflating these two issues: "They are concerned about unethical conduct by public officials, and discouraged by activist courts that try to redefine marriage." And the connection is what? But we'll take this on face value and hold him to it: "A hopeful society expects elected officials to uphold the public trust. Honorable people in both parties are working on reforms to strengthen the ethical standards of Washington - and I support your efforts. Each of us has made a pledge to be worthy of public responsibility - and that is a pledge we must never forget, never dismiss, and never betray." Finally, no comment on this one: "creating human-animal hybrids"

Ed Davis pretending to be neutral

Ed,

Why do you parade around trying to act like your a neutral unbiased writer for CC. Your a Democrat who is against Bush.

Could be easier.

It could be easier to actually create a human-animal hybrid than legalizing gay marriage in US.I don't really know why did they stuck on it when we have much urgent issues to resolve. And another thing: it's time to consider a "stop divorce" bill due to the divorce rate in our statistics.
