A good analytical essay might include you talking to various married folks on how "damaged" they feel their marriages have become. Especially if you know any married folks in Massachusetts. Or Canada or England.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hey Nora? Your marriage damaged cause them there gays get to be hitched and have the same legal rights you do?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Is now a good time to bring up the interesting point that a friend from a generation before me mentioned - that the slogans and rhetoric against gay marriage now sound eerily similar to the slogans and rhetoric against interracial marriage when he was young?

And ya know, it kinda bugs me that the religious right are all het up about the issue, because back when I was stuck being a miserable good Christian girl in a sin-filled urban public high school, my parents, and all authority figures of the church we went to were always preaching how I shouldn't let myself be defined by anything going on around me. The purity of my good Christian girl-ness should shine the brighter for being surrounded by ... something other than the insular society of our own brand of xianity. So why can't fundementalist Christian marriages be content to be what they are, and not defined by any other marriages around them?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Because that makes actual sense, Windy. Sense has no place among the fundies.
