"You said 'til death do us part.' You're not dead yet."

[da]

(the destination site is slammed so I can't review it myself, but it's sheer genius, so this is shamelessly copied right from thespian:

http://rescuemarriage.org/ a voter's initiative seeking to ban divorce in California in the 2010 election.

"Sometimes other people need to sacrifice in order to protect my ideas about traditional marriage. It's just a fact of life. It's not about their soul-sucking sham of a marriage, it's about what we value as a society. We live in a divorce-promiscuous society. It's on the television, it's in movies, the newspapers. It's even in our kids textbooks."

"I wish that I could force people that hate each other with the intensity of a thousand white suns back into a loveless marriage, but my attorneys tell me that getting that law passed would be unlikely in the current political climate."

(it's so dry you almost can't recognize it for the vicious satire it is. it's pretty brilliant.)

I would be more than pleased to see this attempted, satire or not. I think it would definitely be a wake-up call. :)

Lexi and I think this is hilarious. We are a bit sorry for those who don't see the satire in it. We told Lexi's brother, who lives in San Francisco, to sign the petition.
