    ORIGINAL: MISTRAD

    However, when it comes to private relationships, I cannot see the government interest.  This is big government, conservative style.  When conservatives talk about limited government, why isn’t this included?

    I truly believe in limited government.  I think governments power and scale should be limited to what is necessary only.  Faith based morality, and non faith based morality, will always have a say in government; but government should not have absolute power to dictate anything; that is my real point.  Government’s power should be restricted, and limited.

    I cannot see any way that government is expanded by declining to recognize relationships other than those between husband and wife.  This seems to me to actually limit government.  Now, if the government were to criminalize these relationships (as may be the case in polygamy?), that would be an expansion of government.
