I completely agree with you on everything (including the desire for a prime minister with vision--oh, how wonderful that would be). I'm heartbroken on behalf of all those California couples who thought they were finally married, and have now discovered that they're not. It seems to me that it cheapens marriage to make it something that can be withdrawn in that way. (And then, of course, there's Florida and Arizona and Arkansas...heartbreaking all around. I don't know where it's worse--in California, where they had marriage and a real chance of keeping it and then lost it, or Florida and Arizona, where they never had a chance and knew it, and don't even have civil unions to fall back on as they do in California.)
