<DIV><FONT size=4>Subject: [Vision2020] Not that anyone except Doug Farris
cares</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT size=4>> But, in fact, the living
arrangements in my home are not at all as he imagines.<BR>> <BR>> I am the
legal owner of our home. My parents have kindly consented to live with me,
Joan, and their grandchildren, a fact for which I daily give thanks. No
one who lives in our home pays rent, for obvious reasons.<BR>> <BR>> Joan
and I are not legally married. Nevertheless, my parents refer to Joan as
their daughter-in-law, reflecting their profound affection for her and their
recognition of the permanence of her relationship to them, to me, and to our
children. No lawbreaking is involved in this usage.<BR>> <BR>> None
of this is very complicated. Nor yet is it very interesting, except to the
kind of prissy, vindictive busybody who would refer to me as Joan's "concubine,"
speculate on our right to have children at all, or accuse me of breaking the law
for persisting in loving and honoring a woman with whom I have shared 13
blissfully happy years, and with whom I hope to spend the rest of my
life.<BR>> <BR>> Can we move on to some topic of actual local interest
now, Doug Farris?<BR>> <BR>> Melynda Huskey<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
