May 9 2012: You probably won't grasp the legal definition of marriage until you get divorced. Then you may discover that it's something quite scary. 11634
May 9 2012: Marriage, under the law, has nothing to do with love. It is an economic incorporation that most relationships are much healthier without. 11633
May 9 2012: Most of the legal benefits conferred by marriage can be obtained by other means. Those that can't are usually dubious anyway. 11632

May 9 2012: The dueling agendas of gay rights are "Government must stay out of our bedroom," and "Government must sanction our relationship." 11628
May 9 2012: The gay marriage fight is based on the assumption that a private relationship isn't legitimate until it is acknowledged by the government. 11627
May 9 2012: Gays battling for the right to marry is like men fighting for the right to wear corsets. 11626
May 9 2012: There's a name for a government that tries to do everything for everybody and provide services in excess of its resources: Greece. 11625
May 9 2012: Liberals and conservatives exist mainly to fight each other. 11624
May 9 2012: The conservative agenda, carried to the extreme, would be a totalitarian regime. Alas, the liberal agenda would lead to the same. 11623
May 9 2012: Whenever you provide people with a "safety net" they inevitably start to rely on it instead of helping themselves. 11622
May 9 2012: Liberals seem more compassionate, but if left in charge of government, they would cripple society with utopian schemes that don't work. 11621
May 9 2012: "Conservative" is an umbrella for a lot of nasty things, but one core principle is sound: The best government is the least government. 11620
May 9 2012: Economic realities can be brutal and unfair, but there is a limit to how much protection government can provide without succumbing itself. 11619

May 9 2012: "Universal Health Care" is an impossible myth. It would be supportable only if mortality and medical technology were held at a 1960s level. 11614
May 9 2012: As science comes up with ever more expensive ways to keep people alive, the cost to treat everyone becomes unsupportable by any society. 11613
May 9 2012: Let's get over the delusion that a diet soft drink is "food". There's no food in it. It's a flavored drug delivery system. 11612
May 9 2012: Observing animals of the same species interact, it can be hard to tell love from aggression. Are those birds fighting or playing? 11611

May 9 2012: @xtinewu Google is great for telling you the "how" but not the "why". 11609
May 9 2012: I resorted to caffeine today to get through a long drive. Happens about once a week. More than that and it becomes an addiction again. 11608
May 9 2012: A stimulant like caffeine can be useful at times. The problem is preserving its potency, which diminishes with habitual use. 11607
May 9 2012: RT @TheLastVirgo: Don't disguise your cruelty, with your mask of honesty. 11606
May 9 2012: RT @TheBosha: The Civil War didn't end in 1865, it just went passive aggressive. 11605
May 9 2012: The role of government is to provide regulation (boundaries on behavior). It fails when it tries to find solutions to people's problems. 11604
May 9 2012: Chick-Fil-A billboards are creepy. One form of meat trying desperately to get you to consume another. Ronald McDonald is a lot cleaner. 11603

May 7 2012: It's downright creepy how so many married couples look genetically alike. There must be a certain comfort level most people go for. 11579
May 7 2012: Pricey hotels can be so mean. They supply free shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, hair dryer. Only trouble? I AIN'T GOT NO HAIR! #rubitin 11578
May 7 2012: Much of what is called "luxury" is the outsourcing of responsibilities you can handle far more efficiently yourself. 11577
May 7 2012: If you rely on a hotel's wakeup service to get you up for a flight, you're a damn fool. Why would you outsource something so critical? 11576
May 7 2012: Love is all about buying your loved one the most expensive jewelry you can afford (say the jewelers of America). 11575

May 7 2012: There is no sin in having money in the bank, only in spending it frivolously. 11562
May 7 2012: People use "cover stories" to hide the real reasons for their behavior. These stories sound plausible but were invented after the fact. 11561
