Abstaining would seem, in this light, to be half a vote in favor of more government regulation.<BR/><BR/>Ideals are fine for the long-term, but day to day, we have to make the best of the available choices.bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931672813810517649.post-73597490699848575022008-10-21T20:07:00.000-07:002008-10-21T20:07:00.000-07:00You could call me a libertarian (although I prefer...You could call me a libertarian (although I prefer not to, as it implies supporting the Libertarian party, which I do not, for various reasons). I'm more of a totally free-market guy. I'm probably going to vote no on Prop 8, the other option being to not vote on it at all.The reason I wouldn't vote on it is, while I absolutely support gay people being treated equally to straight people, I don't think government should be involved in marriage in the first place. This shouldn't even be an issue. Marriage should be a completely private agreement. There's no reason for the government to be involved. If two men or two women want to get married, or a man and X women, or a woman and X men, or X men and X women, that shouldn't be anyone else's business but their own, least of all the government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931672813810517649.post-20138697306754517632008-10-21T08:03:00.000-07:002008-10-21T08:03:00.000-07:00Some Evangelicals are starting to realize they've ...Some Evangelicals are starting to realize they've been duped and are recommending a <A HREF="http://www.baytzim.com/" REL="nofollow">no vote on Prop 8</A>Reuvenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419471860957530839noreply@blogger.com
