Kind of surprised no one else has chimed in here; maybe we have the same opinion. It's stirred a great amount of controversy in NC, though, with Conservatives having it thrown in our faces that we, "the small government people" want this, of all things, legislated. I've even heard from other Conservatives that "government should get out of the marriage business" and I wonder, then, where do they believe folks ought to go to have their marriage disputes adjudicated/arbitrated, particularly if they're not church-folks.
