Should the US Constitution be changed to Suit One Man's Ego and Ambitions?

    Speaking of egos and changing the Constitution, how about that marriage amendment?

    You have to ask yourself the question: who benefits?

    Where does the bank balance go?

    Follow the paper trail...

    When you outlaw gay marriage... who benefits?

    Where does the money end up?

    All those wedding planners, all those caterers, left without a job... who gets their pay?

    Simple. Dick Cheney. With his vampiric stealth and deceptively quick agility, he darts across the country stealing all the money that would have gone into gay marriage.

    Egos aside, I do think the key is really that if you see fit to give someone citizenship, that must come with ALL rights and obligations applied equally to everyone.

    That should therefore include the right to stand for president, no question.

    Gay marriages really is irrelevant to the egotrip debate imo.

    Yes, but that requirement was originally there as an attempt to at least reduce foreign entanglements. Since that obviously doesn't work anymore...
