<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well Scott, it sounds to me like you and Joe base
your thinking on your feelings on any given day. This is why I was asking him
about the declaration and how it applied to a variation of this
discussion. My thoughts on the matter are that the government should not be
in the business of sanctioning relationships of any kind. As far as equal rights
go, what's OK for a man & a women should be good for a man & a man. Or a
man & a man & a man. Or a woman, a snake & a apple. Just
how equal do you want to get? My objections stem from problems that I see when
it comes to insurance, social security, inheritance, and child custody
along with a host of other issues. Same gender marriage will cause far
more problems then it will solve. To call my argument weak and base your
assertion on your "feelings" all the while offering no coherent argument of your
own (in fact stating that with regard to a large portion of the discussion that
you have "no opinion") seems a mite vapid. Perhaps the reason that you have
no opinion and Joe elects to stick with one issue at a time is because you all
are waiting for someone to tell you which way the wind is blowing?</FONT></DIV>

Joe, If the Declaration of Independence is to be your ultimate guide in
