[PLUG-TALK] Those worthless marriage licenses in Multnomah County...

[plug_0 at robinson-west.com]

Here's a thought, let the desperately cash strapped Multnomah 
County keep your $60 if you paid for one of these.  It's a 
shame that the Multnomah County taxpayer will lose on this 
one.  How many of these were printed?

That so many of these couples want a refund, that's downright 
unpatriotic.  It's not like $60 is an enormous amount of money
for most people.  This money would be better spent on Multnomah 
County's public school system or perhaps abuse prevention 
education.

If only dissolution of marriage were as easy for certain heterosexual 
couples where abuse is a problem and it's needed.  Some homosexuals 
aren't married anymore and that's that.  This is not the case for 
millions of women trying to escape abusive male ex-husbands.  Some 
things just don't make sense.  I would even once like to see a 
woman granted the right to walk away, with her children, from 
a mentally abusive male ex husband shortly after being granted a 
divorce.  For homosexuals, there generally won't be children.  
"You can have your money back, the people of Oregon just had a 
difference of opinion with us."  But If you're a woman wanting 
to grab her children and take them away from a mentally abusive 
male husband, you're out of luck.

For homosexuals who have a lot of money, I hope they consider 
doing something patriotic with it.
