Madam, - "If we are to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever, our nation must enact a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in America," President Bush said a few days ago (World News, February 25th).
Barely a month after Britney Spears's 55-hour marriage, a Martian tourist would surely think the president was contemplating a ban on divorce, since this is indubitably responsible for massive abuse of the sanctity of marriage by undermining its very inviolability ("till death to us part").
But no, it seems gays are the problem. If two of them take vows to commit themselves to each other for life, my own marriage has apparently been weakened.
Can someone please explain how. - Yours, etc,,
