Your misunderstanding me.  I'm not saying that I should wake up tomorrow and all
the laws regarding marriage will be stricken from the books.  Just as cutting
off one's arm to stem a minor infection would be bad, so to would
instantainiously wiping out all the marriage laws.  Instead of trying to define
what constitutes a marriage (as our country, the US, seems so intent on doing as
of late), we should be finding ways to support families without defining
marriage.

(...) Ok. But what do you propose to replace the dependent support systems tied into those marriage laws you'd like to obliterate? Take your time because there's a lot of details that need to be worked out. Don (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
