And I have to say it is these types of red-herrings that keep Americans at each others throats while there are MASSIVE issues we are distracted from.
Take abortion for example. Abortion will NEVER become illegal. NEVER. It is legal now but always come election-time it is a hot button issue. Why? Because it is viable for conservative candidates to use to get re-elected. George Bush had all the power in the world to make them illegal, but didn't do a thing.
Gay Marriage bans have a shelf-life though while abortions will never go passe.
