Collapsible Thinking

Rob Tisinai vents:


There are plenty of reasons to ban adult/child marriage, reasons that have nothing to do with same-sex marriage, reasons that have nothing to do with tradition. I imagine our opponents would agree with those reasons.  But they conveniently forget them when they claim that altering a tradition means anything goes.  And I have to wonder again if the case against marriage equality is so strong, why must they resort to arguments that collapse into repellent chaos with a moment’s examination?

Of course, that’s a question that answers itself.
