Letter to Barack Obama
Dear Mr. Obama,

I learned yesterday that you have 'evolving' views on marriage. Just so I am in full understanding, you are saying you no longer believe that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. If it is now open to interpretation then what is it?

At the San Francisco Marriage Counter

"Next."
"Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license."
"Names?"
"Tim and Jim Jones."
"Jones?? Are you related?? I see a resemblance."
"Yes, we're brothers."
"Brothers?? You can't get married."
"Why not?? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?"
"Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!"
"Incest?" No, we are not gay."
"Not gay?? Then why do you want to get married?"
"For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other.Besides, we don't have any other prospects."
"But we're issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who'vebeen denied equal protection under the law.If you are not gay, you
can get married to a woman."
"Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as Ihave. But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a
woman. I want to marry Jim."
"And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to discriminate against usjust because we are not gay?"
"All right, all right. I'll give you your license.
Next."


"Hi. We are here to get married."
"Names?"
"John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson."
"Who wants to marry whom?"
"We all want to marry each other."
"But there are four of you!"
"That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert,
Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves
June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way that
we can express our sexual preferences in a marital relationship."
"But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples."
"So you're discriminating against bisexuals!"
"No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is thatit's just for couples."
"Since when are you standing on tradition?"
"Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere."
"Who says?? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples.
The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says theconstitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a
marriage license!"
"All right, all right. Next."


"Hello, I'd like a marriage license."
In what names?"
"David Deets."
"And the other person?"
"That's all. I want to marry myself."
"Marry yourself?? What do you mean?"
"Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want tomarry the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return."
"That does it!? I quit!!? You people are making a mockery of marriage!!"


So Mr. Obama, exactly how evolved are you???

Obama will reach the height of his evolution when he grants the ability for people to marry their pets.

Re: Letter to Barack Obama
Slippery Slope logical fallacy

The Slippery Slope is a fallacy in which a person asserts that some event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the inevitability of the event in question. In most cases, there are a series of steps or gradations between one event and the one in question and no reason is given as to why the intervening steps or gradations will simply be bypassed. This "argument" has the following form:

Event X has occurred (or will or might occur).
Therefore event Y will inevitably happen.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because there is no reason to believe that one event must inevitably follow from another without an argument for such a claim. This is especially clear in cases in which there is a significant number of steps or gradations between one event and another.
 Quoting: [link to www.nizkor.org]


There's nothing saying that people are going to try to marry siblings and marry themselves because gays are doing it.
Nice try, but your logic is flawed.

Bet me, just give it some time and I will guarantee people will attempt to marry their pets. I'll bet they already have. Google it.

You missed one ...

"Hello, I'd like a marriage license."
"Names?"
"John and Mary Smith."
"Huh? You both have the same last name?"
"Well, of course."
"Of course?"
"Sure, she's my daughter."
"What???"
"Right, I'd like to marry my 10-year-old daughter. Since she's underage, I'll have to sign for her, of course."

 Quoting: Below Me

Nobody is objecting to your beliefs, but can you stop shoveling them down others' throats? Nobody is taking your right by granting the same one to someone else as well. Grow up: it shouldn't be your business what adult people do consensually.

Could you religious freaks give a break to the rest of the mankind, please?

PS: let's guess who was signed the Massachusetts law about the same-sex marriage, hypocrite. Bingo!
