<DIV>I'm going to play Devil's advocate for a moment, and to be clear I don't
give a rip about gay marriage one way or another. Hey, if if gay
couples want to keep divorce lawyers in business by forking over
thousands of dollars in fees and spend months going to hearing after hearing
after hearing, well, welcome to the hetero world. Toss in a child or two and
becomes even more fun. <BR></DIV>
