    You seem to define marriage as being entirely about making a monogamous commitment, for me (and obviously at the ripe old age of 22 this is mostly conjecture on my part) it's much more of an emotional and financial commitment. Maybe for some people making an emotional commitment requires monogamy, but certainly not everyone. Humans aren't, after all, naturally monogamist.

    I had many of the same ideas when I was 22; I'm older now. We'll agree to disagree.

    During the Clinton years, the media was 1-sided about persecuting him. I was always surprised that no one in the media took the opportunity to feature articles about those who dislike the institution of marriage.

    Polls showed the majority of Americans supported Clinton throughout, despite the unanimous hatred of him by the media. And large amounts of comedy ridicule marriage, like the top-rated at the time Fox comedy "Married With Children." So there must be tens of millions of us opposed to the institution.

    I would expect Libertarians to oppose marriage.
