  So I heard a fun one today. A county in Oregon is no longer issuing marriage certificates at all. They were threatened by the state attorney general to NOT issue marriage licenses to gay couples because it conflicted with a state statute. The county clerk decided that because the state constitution forbids discrimination of any kind that the only logical thing to do then was to cease issuing the licenses at all.
She claimed that when a state statute conflicts with the state constitution she just felt her hands were tied. This is what comes of mixing religion with law. Referance places like Afganistan and Iran. One should simply NEVER let the dominate religion of a country or state run it's legal system. It will ALWAYS be inherently discriminatory. Simply by deciding to live by one code of moral conduct one must needs reject other perfectly respectable codes.
This will simply never sit well with those who follow the other codes, and in a country founded on the principal of acceptance of differences it is simply unsupportable to limit the populace in this way. Speaking of which, the death tax. Are yall aware that unless you have over $20,000,000.00 abolishing the death tax will not help you? So all of you $20,000,000.00 aires get together and try to convince yourselves of how screwed you are by the system. Take an economics class. There NEEDS to be a system of income reallocation in a system dependent on competition.
The only folks that want the death tax abolished do things like own WalMart. Yes, the ones that use their vast income to employ folks at minimun wage, and work them too few hours per week to qualify for benefits. So I'm asking you........ should we reward the greedy bloodsuckers of society so that WE can come up with the trillion dollars over the next decade to replace what they save? Yes, 1,000,000,000,000.00 out of the pockets of the people who are deciding between medicine, and food, and a way to work so that they can continue struggling. Yes, lets do reward the greedy millionaires. People are SUCH dumbasses sometimes.
