I mean, it would mean everything to those who are married (because they love each other yadda yadda), but no more Justice of the Peace marriages and what not.

If you get married, you get married by whatever entity decides to marry people (shoot, in this theory, your local McDonalds could choose to marry people if it so chose). The government needs no place in it. It's not the government's business. No more worrying about gay marriage/straight marriage, because there would be no need. The government doesn't need to prop up an institution, let society do it.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
