actually they don't approve it...they allow it, the difference is subtle but there.

I think an ecologist would argue that you are taking the independent agency and interests away from the goat.

They neither approve nor allow as they don't have that power. They either recognise or they don't.

they create a law which allows it. it has to be written down saying it's legal, they allow it.

Untrue. People can get married with or without the law, the state just doesn't recognise the marriage. If it was truly illegal they would go to prison for getting married, which they don't.

Back in '72 I got thrown in the clink for marrying a cucumber.

It is, I submit, as some MP said, a step into Alice in Wonderland. As of when does the government get to assignnew meanings to words? Can they say that gherkin means tomato? The United nations is henceforth 'arse'? Poetry is to be termed 'bollocks'? Really, do these little men have such power? Why have they been able to change the meaning, without quite knowing what they were changing it to? Why duck adultery? Is x to be know as 'husband' and 'y' to be known as 'wife'? Are people to be banned from enquiring whether a 'married' couple are husband and husband, or husband and wife? What on earth is the purpose? I realise that the gay lobby -- highly represented in the media, indeed over-represented -- feel a need to carry on campaigning for something-- but what is achieved? And what will the next great target be, which will be rammed down my throat day after fucking day?

No, I am not for it.

Duck adultery? I thought they mated for life...oh, no. That's swans. Sorry. Scratch that.

you do if you fuck the goat afterwards, it's called bestiality
