"You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow. Say you had a great job with the government where you had this wonderful health plan. I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you're gay, and y'all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits?...To me, it's all about a free ride."
—Georgia GOP Chairwoman Sue Everhart, on gay marriage

I'm sure she's right. There probably are some hetero people abusing the system. I'm sure that's less than 1% of the cases, though. And you'll find people who are legally married in order to get someone a green card. Again, probably less than 1% of the cases.

But like they say, 99% of all legislators give the rest a bad name.

Y'know, if someone felt the need to get married to someone for the benefits, I'd be taking a hard look at why their single life isn't successful. I'll bet you'll find more than enough things that need fixing when you start examining that part.

"Straight as an Arrow"...
Do people who use that expression seriously know how much an arrow bends and wobbles once it leaves the bow ? :)

LOL! Yup, about the only time an arrow is straight is at rest. High speed photos of arrows being shot are amazing, seeing how much flex they have under compression.
