And this is why I still haven't seen Friday Night Lights. :)

You obviously aren't seeing the same posts on Facebook as I am, from my redneck Republican-voting relatives. The same ones who hate Michelle Obama with the fire of a thousand suns and call her a gorilla. Ohhhhhhhkay.

I meant the former. Legitimizing, encouraging, rewarding, and coercing people into a specific type of family, lifestyle, or household is discriminatory, and, rightfully, the state has no business in this type of favoritism.

I'm, like, the Michelangelo of New Jersey of home building.

Agreed. But, then, I'm childfree. All of this is madness to me, especially on a massively overpopulated planet on a downward spiral of ecosystem destruction. But, hey, TO EACH HIS OWN, AMIRITE?

I was a child in the 80s, and I never did any of this.
