Last night, under the wrath of a ruthless migraine, I was left with nothing better to do then catch up on contemporary film such as "What Happens in Vegas".
And I must say, I did shamelessly laugh out loud here and there, because after all, Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz are pretty funny people.
One line that struck me, however, was when the judge played by Dennis Miller said
"Gay people aren't ruining marriage -YOU people are"
We people, the straight people, the 19 year old Baby Mamas and and 21 year old Fathers of 3.
Our society is battling with the issue of gay couples to be legally married because it goes against the sanction of marriage -yet we forget that just a few years ago, divorce was not an option, now, divorce is a back-up plan.
"If it doesn't work out, we'll just a get a divorce. fuck it"
What's going to happen to the cute 85 year old couples that have been married for 50+ year?
Will there only be a bunch of 79 year old bachelors and slutty women, wrinkled up but still in stilettos at clubs and bars waiting, hoping for their "true love", the one they can die with (in 5 to 10 years tops)?
What ever happened to "'Til death due us part", "Through sickness and in health"?
Have we become far too comfortable with the easy way out?
