We start the show off with a brief and totally random introduction to who your hosts for this show are. We figured we shouldn’t always assume everyone knows who we are. At least once a year we should give a brief synopsis just to keep everyone up to speed, so this week you get one. The Atheist News Podcast host review. Lucky you! We move on to this weeks poll and discuss the results. As I further dig my hole with my female listenership, Richard heroically refuses to touch me with a ten-foot-pole.
After that we do some listener mail and then get to the news. We have some good ones this week and it’s a pretty philosophical show over-all. If you have any thoughts, feel free to email them to me or send them via the contact form. Also check out our new poll. It should be up for a while so we can collect some data.
Also, as I may have already mentioned, our Facebook fan-page is up and running, so “Like” us over on Facebook and help spread the word!

Episode 033
Subject: Civil Unions, Marriage, tax benefits.
Why should married or civil union persons get any tax benefits or legal rights above and beyond a single, divorced or widowed person at all? Is this the government encouraging a specific lifestyle of its citizens? I am not against marriage or civil unions I am just wondering why a married or civil union should allow a person to pay less in taxes than a single person.
Other rights should be given or taken away as needed regardless of blood or legal bonds. Children should be covered by genetic or legal bonds unless a judge orders otherwise until the age of 18 and in the case of death or incapacitation unless other arrangements are producible. Property division in case of couples splitting should be legally available to either party regardless of civil union or marriage.
The need for a legal coupling seems to me as only a means to discriminate against the single adult.

Scott: I think I kind of agree with you.
