States like Massachusetts, California and New York have begun reluctantly allowing folks to seek a gay marriage. This is an outrage! There is no reason for these states, or any states, to force an expectation of happiness onto any bickering couple of disgruntled partners. If people want to despise each other, if they insist on hating, then by all means, it is their God-given right to loathe their very existence!

Passing legislation mandating joy and happiness is beyond comprehension. Just because it’s in the constitution doesn’t make it any more right! Even if everyone on earth were married there would be only a handful of couples who would declare their marriage to be gay.

The rest of us? We’d be working on the honey-do list…or working to avoid it! By definition, the very nature of settling down with one other living creature for the remainder of our lives is flawed. Wolves seem to practice serial monogamy. But only you and me - FOREVER!? It’s madness. It’s a bad song from the 50s. It is fitting that in the animal kingdom only a vicious species of wild canine are one of the few examples of monogamy. I doubt that they are happily monogamous. It is likely that their monogamy is what drives their viciousness.

There is no such thing as a gay marriage. You can legislate all you want, you simply cannot people to be happy! By definition, once you are married, there is no happiness. There is no joy. In the end, your only joy from the imprisonment of marriage is the silent release of death. Once you are released from your earthly bondage, any happiness you were forced to enjoy through legislation won’t matter anyway.
