1 point for Alabama - now it's your move, "other 49 states"

Alabama Senate votes to approve the Abolition of Marriage License Requirements.

Any one of the current GOP candidates would be wise to adopt this concept. Say it at the first round of GOP presidential debates and you can follow it with a mic-drop. I love this. It aligns with the point I've made in that the government should get out of the marriage business all together. It's completely futile to try to to convince the government to either allow or disallow certain unions when the correct answer is "it's none of their damn business who gets married". This is an important point I often make; When you take a hard stance on an issue like this, regardless of which side you are on, you begin to rely on the government to play "referee" in hopes that they will rule in your favor. By doing so, you inadvertently forfeit that little chunk of "freedom to choose" over to them. They will happily add that to their arsenal of devices used to try and control our lives. It's ironic that the same people continuously lobbying the government in efforts to stop gay marriage are often the same people that spend enormous amounts of energy complaining that the government is too big already. Stop feeding the pig!
