Why should I have to enter into a contract with a person to show that I love them?
This is where i'll simply leave you be. As long as your distain for marriage is equal opportunity...i can feel confident that closing this discussion is simply a recognition of deep aesthetic differences, and not an intellectual question. To me, marriage isn't a contract, but a covenant...marriages are not private affairs between isolated people, but a reflection of the community that recognizes them. The difference between those things has everything to do with my religious idenity and cultural background, which i can't reasonably expect you to share. So...agree to disagree?

as for the rest...dogs, no matter how loyal, cannot give informed consent. quite frankly, i think we're beyond reason when this arguement gets trotted out.
