    This is a ploy designed to ensure a smooth transition of power to his former classmate Kerry.

    It is just like the flag-burning amendment. It's something that makes Bush look good with his core constituency, but ultimately will have him defeated in 2004 - as planned.

    I see Dubya has decided that it is incumbent upon him (as the Lord's
    representative on earth) to preserve what he refers to as the 'sanctity
    of marriage' in American law.

    His use of the word 'sanctity' makes clear that he wishes to amend the
    constitution on the basis of a religious precept. Whither the separation
    of church and state?

    (One has to wonder though, how many gay couples, perhaps subconsciously,
    wish to avail themselves of that same supposed sanctity.)

    He goes on to say that he considers marriage to be a union of one man
    and one woman thus betraying yet another ignorant assumption; that all
    humans are unambiguously one or the other. He is, as so often before,
    sadly mistaken.

    makes interesting reading.

    <q>
    Statistics are hard to come by, but it seems that as many as one in 500
    women competitors are disqualified by the sex test...
    </q>

    If the physical aspects of human sexuality are so obviously a continuum
    (as opposed to the binary system that Christianity so fondly imagines)
    why should it be supposed that human psyche is any less varied? Or any
    less sacred?

    That's not logical Captain!*
    Best Regards.
