    I finally had a chance to listen to the lecture by Mr. Arkes. Very interesting lecture with some good arguments. People looking to increase their knowledge on how to answer the pro-gay marriage crowd should listen to this audio.

    Mr. Blankenhorn touches on something that I've also found troubling - that in popular culture a celebratory note has been struck about marriage dismantling - divorce parties on "Good Morning America" and such.
