Why doesn't Mr. Bush trust families to make their own decisions? Schaivo
From the DLC, New Dem Dispatch
http://www.ndol.org/ndol_ci.cfm?kaid=131&subid=192&contentid=253253

"As we've always told Democrats, the best way to stay in touch with Americans' "moral values" is to show them some trust. That certainly includes trusting them with many of the key decisions they must make as citizens, as parents, and more and more often, as the children of parents at life's end."

--
The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats trust families to make their own decisions.

1. To be fair, he is trusting the family to make the decision - the parents.
He just thinks that they're more "family" than Michael is.

2. It is a grey area, but isn't marriage about leaving the parents to form a
new family?

3. Yep.
That's why many marriage ceremonies include the father "giving away" the bride, right?
