Tell that to all of the people with mothers or fathers that died when they were babies or small kids.

Okay. So what's your point? Going through life without an arm or a leg doesn't make you less of a person, it just adds more of a challenge.

IT's like, the children's need and right to have parents. Life doesn't have to give it to them but rights are still something that are out of many people's hands.

It makes me about 30 pounds less of a person actually.

My opine -- it's stupid beyond reckoning that we're using governments to define what a marriage is. But, as long as we're rendering unto caesar, let's do it fairly, yeah? Do whatever to whoever you like. On the plus side Ireland is apparently approaching it via the popular vote, as opposed to the USA utilizing mostly courts -- that means that in Ireland it's the people exercising their right to call it how they see it, while in the US they're simply determining that our history is illegal.

Do whatever you like to whomever you like?

Exactly that, yes.
