Math Manifolds

a: Working with a manifold ~
b: programming software

What: "Working with a topology on a set is like designing a processor. Working with a manifold is like programming software.

a: Homosexual marriage ~
b: putting a pitcher behind home plate

What:

"Homosexual "marriage" is like putting a pitcher behind home plate or a catcher on the mound. If you own the ball park you can do what you want, but if you've got anything other than one pitcher and one catcher on the field, what you have still isn't called a ball team. "
