Professor of Law at Boston University Chip Lundgren explains, "The Constitution upholds that the state can in no way impede a citizen's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Marriage is a way that some decided to pursue happiness. The real question becomes 'Is happiness worth taking a 50-50 risk?'"
Surprisingly, the issue has found some agreement between Republican and Democrats. Senator Joseph Biden (D) of Delaware called the decision "an opportunity for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to show their willingness to fight for the right of every person, regardless of sexual orientation, to enjoy the freedom to blah blah blah and the tolerance that will blah blah blah with the government backing their efforts to live life the way blah blah blah…"
Biden then stopped and with a sigh admitted, "I'm sorry I don't know what I'm saying…I'm scared to stand for something because that would mean I'd stand against something, which just isn't nice…unless I stand against someone that not nice, then it's nice, right? I'm confused."
"I have no problem taking a stand for something," replied Senator Trent Lott (R- Miss.). "Actually, I take a stand on everything. And here I have to say I agree with Senator Biden. Let the bastards marry! They've been too promiscuous for too long, parading around the streets in fishnet whatevers, perverting our cities. Let 'em settle down and experience the pain and horror of the 'blessed institution of marriage.' They deserve it!"
A recent street survey, however, shows that most Bostonians, as true New Englanders, are generally confused about the nature of true human relationships of any kind and find the court ruling far too removed from their individualism to care.
