Thank you. How about this? I mean, let us go beyond just the mom or dad of a young man or woman fighting in Iraq. How about the father of four who leaves for work every day, and do you think he is worrying about whether someone who is gay is going to be able to get married or not, or is my Member of Congress voting to amend the Constitution to deal with that, or do you think that it is more likely that he is pissed that he is having to pay $3.01 a gallon to fill up his tank and it is going to cost him like $55 and he is wondering whether he is going to be able to get to work in the morning? Where on the list of priorities, Mr. Delahunt, do you think that is for the Joe and Jane average constituents that we represent?
