The Married Vote
Ever since the right to divorce made marriage pretty much obsolete as a social construct, it's annoyed me how much lip service continues to be paid to it. Anyway, today I decided that, as a condition of marriage, couples should only be allowed one vote - combined. I mean, single people have to shoulder the economic burden of life all on their own, while married couples have two to share the load - plus they have every Tom, Dick and Hairy politician catering to their tea-for-two world of holy matrimony. Therefore, it only makes sense that they should have to vote as a unit and not get a vote each. That way, too, if you couldn't even make up your mind how you were going to vote as a couple, you'd know there was no point in staying together and everyone would be saved years of aggravation as you tried to make your marriage work, for some reason known only to marriage counsellors and people who think God gave his only begotten Son so that assholes like Dick Cheney could have life everlasting.
