Give it time. They already bomb abortion clinics and shoot doctors. Pizza places aren't far away.
I'm sure the same argument is used in Islamic countries when they're debating giving women the same rights as men. That's the thing that cracks me up about religion. Growing up catholic, I was taught that my religion was right and pretty much everyone else was wrong. Ironically, it seems that EVERY religion teaches that. Your beliefs hold that gays marrying is wrong. A lot of Islamic countries don't believe women should be in government. What's so different about those two beliefs? Yet we chastize them because their beliefs aren't ours. I watched an interview with Sen. Santorum. I really think the guy believes what he is saying. To me he sounds about as extremist as some of those were fighting. That scares the crap out of me since there's rumors he'll run in 2008.
