Then they turn around and say they want to defend the sanctity of it all. Huh... you mean like how Senator Larry Craig defended his marriage in the men's restroom? Or how <SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial">Eliot Spitzer defended the sanctity of marriage as he BONKED A HOOKER? (no offense to prostitutes). </SPAN>

<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial">Marriage has become this weird holy grail or maybe windmill? Marriage isn't easy, and here are some people that love each other enough to give it a shot. Stop getting in the way! It's hard enough already. Give two people some slack! Are people really convinced that marriage as an institution has feelings and needs to be protected? Marriage will be fine, I promise! </SPAN>

If you are in an unhappy marriage and aren't allowed to admit it because your public persona requires perfection (Hence the $600.00 haircuts, thankyouverymuch Mr. Edwards) Maybe then these fragile truces within mansions (otherwise known as D.C. marriages) require the force of law so that the illusion can be maintained.
