Same Sex Marriage: A Real Issue?

Congratulations to President Obama on his recent declaration of support for same sex marriages( SSM). A politically astute move. Anyone who is against SSM or even gives it much thought wasn't an Obama supporter to begin with. His base is pleased with no real down side!

Perhaps instead of the railing against the evils of homosexual unions we should be investigating the general failure of the institution of heterosexual marriage in the US. Yes, we have the highest divorce rate in the world! You would be better off betting on the flip of a coin than you would be putting your money on the success of your niece's marrage!

How about we get away from knee jerk issues designed to rile up the electorate and take a hard look at some issues that really matter to our society.

Until next time
