Vote for marriage amendment is hateful
By Pamela D'Andrea | Feb. 6, 2008I will vote against the marriage amendment simply because of Benjamin Burwell's ridiculous column. Essentially, what is a marriage? It is a couple's declaration of commitment. For some it is toward the church, but for all it is toward the government. Therefore, whatever the pope said about marriage doesn't matter to a majority of people. What right does he, or any church, have to define such a term in a country of free thought and religion?
