    Seeing the coverage about Kim Kardashian filing for divorce I think instead of banning homosexual weddings we should ban celebrity weddings if we want to preserve the institution of marriage.

    I'm not sure this would help the institution of marriage. Think of how it draws a H and W together watching and discussing the thousands of hours of coverage of our good friends Kim, Jen, Brad, Angie, Lindsey,, Demi

    What the world needs now is love, sweet love
    It's the only thing that there's just too little of
    What the world needs now is love, sweet love
    No, not just for some but for everyone

    Lord, we don't need another mountain
    There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
    There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
    Enough to last 'til the end of time

    What the world needs now is love, sweet love
    It's the only thing that there's just too little of
    What the world needs now is love, sweet love
    No, not just for some but for everyone

    Lord, we don't need another meadow
    There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
    There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
    Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

    What the world needs now is love, sweet love
    It's the only thing that there's just too little of
    What the world needs now is love, sweet love
    No, not just for some, oh, but just for every, every, everyone


    Lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach - 1965
    Sung by Merrilee Rush (Jackie DeShannon's is better known) and the ending music of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, 1968, and one of my guilty pleasures.

    I think it would be bad for the economy to ban them. This wedding in particular cost $10 million. Think of the people that money went to.

    America is so desperate for some kind of 'Royalty'
    they will crown anyone important and then swoon over them
    it is sickening

    Like people NEED someone to think that is better than them
    by no other reason than birth or circumstances
    People NEED to think that there is an Automatic BID to specialness
    and they were 'just unlucky'
    and they should adore them
    sickening . .
    Kings. . Queens . . talentless celebrities etc
    I respect Dictators more. . at least they worked for theirs

    I sometimes get the feeling that if we had TMZ in the 1770's the Revolution would've never happened.

    Your stereotypical statement sucks tired old donkey balls. You would do better rephrasing it....."Some Americans are so desperate for some kind of 'Royalty' "

    If we want to preserve the institution of marriage, the government should get out of the business of defining it.

    Yeah, but didn't they make a lot more than that from all the deals involved? Like 10x more. It seemed this wedding was done to make money more than anything. Exposure, exposure, exposure...that's what that family is all about...as long as people watch them and talk about them they make money off of it.

    Preserve the integrity of marriage by focusing on your own. Ignore the 'look at me' personality-first media whores and your life will be much fuller.
