On a side note, within a US context, I find it rather odd that those that most vocally put down others by saying that they "need some sort of emperor" or "need to be slaves" (ie see Libertarians, Ayn Rand cultists, Tea Party peeps, etc.) have an utterly slavish devotion to the mythical Founders and the Constitution as if those men and that document, written to face the political/social/economic terrain of the 18th century must be held in some sort of untouchable sacrosanct realm.
The Constitution, among it's writers, was meant to be a workable changeable document, but has become a religion to these folks. They rail righteously against what they perceive as weaknesses among their fellow citizens ("They can't handle freedom!") but slavishly give up critical thinking and any notions of freedom when bathing in the light of a 18th century document meant to reconcile the problems of a civilization based on sail powered trade of slaves, sugar and rum.

- I think gay people are doing just fine. No one is denying anyone anything. Marriage license is not a constitution issueyurimon
