Why Blogs Rock

Because you can have intelligent debates like this, which follow up Jane Galt's post on "gay marriage" that I linked to below. I mostly agree - the original article was much more interesting as a general discussion of unintended consequences than a damnation of gay marriage (which it wasn't intended to be, anyway). And actually, after a few days of thought, I'm as supportive of gay marriage as ever, and it's because of principles rather than outcomes. Sometimes we need to do the right thing and accept the negatives (and whether or not there actually will be significant negative consequences for society at large if gays are allowed to marry is of course debatable).
