I didn't see the marriage thing as anything but that--but I'm not into conspiracy as many on this list are ;-).
I was actually proud of little Dubyah that he had the guts to stand up for something like marriage. For me, I am glad to have heard the words, "marriage is sacred" spoken by the leader of our country (I wondered at that moment if he hadn't just gotten off the phone with Pres. Hinckley!). The Marriage is one of Satan's many battlefields, as is the family. If he can successfully destroy the family, then the Church will fail. Since we know that's not supposed to happen, can we presume the family is safe? I don't think so. While I don't agree with constitutionalizing marriage, I believe a stand by our leaders is necessary in the fight for the preservation of something as sacred as marriage. val On Sun, 10 Aug 2003 18:30:34 -0400 Grampa Bill in Savannah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Valerie Nielsen Williams wrote: > > >I don't think, though, that the persecution will have the backing > of the government as it did in the days of Boggs. > > > ================================= > Grampa Bill comments: > snip> There is a movement afoot today to pass a Constitutional > amendment > to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
