[Craig] I think we should confine the term ‘socialism’ to the economic realm. Your example, is one of ‘social engineering’.
[Arlo] OK, fair enough. So you'd say that laws attempting to define marriage as between "a man and a woman" are an example of "social engineering"? [Craig] If marriage laws were just starting, I think gender should be irrelevent. However, I'm leary of applying thousands of case law to gay marriage. [Arlo] We overcame a lot when we allowed marriage between a black and a white. Seemed to not cause any problems for me. But this is an argument I just don't get. You seem to be saying that even though something is immoral, we shouldn't rock the boat if it means extra work for the legal system. [Craig] I think we should experiment with different forms of partnership: marriage, civil union, usw. [Arlo] Personally I think the state should only concern itself with "civil unions", let "marriage" become just a "church" term.
