Protect marriage - ban divorce!

A satirical proposal to ban divorce in California is accomplishing its goal of bringing media attention to the marriage issue, according to writer David L. Kirp, who teaches at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. "That's its real purpose -- to debunk, through humor, the humorless claim that the 'sanctity' of marriage is the reason gays shouldn't be allowed to tie the knot -- and on that score, it's mission accomplished," Kirp writes.
