This probably isn't going to make me very popular here...

... but to be totally honest, I'm glad the DOMA is gone.

I agree with F. Ryan that America is becoming more and more hypocritical in its views of moral and ethical limits in individual lives.  The left wants what it wants and will do anything to get it, even if that means changing its tone-view-opinion 180 degrees, as Clinton just did.

However, the right has gone too far, too.  I agree with the premise that "marriage" is a union between a man and a woman that is sanctified by God... but it cannot be codified and legislated by government without opening the topic up to hypocrisy and abuse.  At least not in today's world.  Moral and ethical limits are set, understood and followed by the individual... because they are individual in nature, not because they are mandated by the state.

The government should have no Federal authority to regulate, legislate or limit marriage.  Let's face it, it was only regulated to start with to drum up new taxes and fees in the late 19th Century.  The government needs to get out of the marriage business, once and for all.
