 you are aware that the divorce rate has been steadily declining in this country and is currently at it's lowest level since 1970(albiet for a host of reasons) but you didn't mention any factors regarding the causes for the rate before declaring marriage a sham..
btw, if marriage is indeed a "sham", why would gay couples be so anxious to participate in a "sham"?
