The Sanctity of Marriage

Hello People. I keep hearing all of these people talking about "preserving the sanctity of marriage" and I can't help but wonder what they're talking about. There are currently 16 different "dating" shows either on or about to be on television. Although the settings are different the goal of each is the same; to hook up I mean "find love" with a stranger on national television. These shows are frighteningly popular. The Bachelor/Bachelorette pays single men/women to vie for the love of the "chosen one" in hopes of marriage. Where, exactly, is the sanctity in that? When I was a kitten we called people who were paid to date prostitutes. Today they're called reality stars. There's a new "dating game" where B-List celebrities (the ones not even good enough to dance with)choose a date based on the sound of their voice. It's a take off on The Voice. They spin around in their little chairs after the "contestant" says something provocative. Charming. There is Sister Wives which extols the joy of polygamy. And Wife Swap which, well I don't know the hell the purpose of that is. Call me old school, but I don't think Hollywood would be pumping out all of this trash if people weren't watching it. Who wants to lay odds that those viewers are the same folks holding up the hate signs? Anyway, my point is, if those among you are so concerned about protecting the sanctity of marriage (which in the US fails 52% of the time) perhaps you should be spreading your venom on Hollywood and leave the same sex couples alone. Peace Out Sway
