steve, steve, steve ~ The mic is on. Otherwise KM wouldn't grab it with the "age" thing, so that he can delight himself with driving yet another thread around Bizarro Bend and over the cliff into the Land of The Thread That Won't Die.

But, as you rightly point out, age ** has 0 to do with a discussion of Proposition 8. Maybe he just misread the thread. Or doesn't know jack about Proposition 8. Or linked up with erroneous information. I'm lookin' to give him the benefit of a doubt . . .

Nope. Nothin' there. Go figure.




Edit: ** Looks like I gotta add bigamy and incest. Whew, this is hard work.

Turn it down a bit? Other objections? What are you talking about?


Never mind, I don't want to know. Carry on with this conversation you're having with yourself.

Scary, ain't it?

Prop 8, and denial of the right to marry - you introduced it not me. I was just saying that age is more or less the only restriction apart from rules of consanguinity and affinity i.e. which relations are disqualified from marrying one another within the definition.

None of this is remotely relevant to Prop 8.

That's what I thought... but he started talking about denial of the right to marry in that context so I was just clearing up in what circumstances marriage can be denied.

km

Please show me where.

Like I said, he's having his own private sidebar.

Well, just go up to his second where he said:

"denying the right to marry harms affected couples"

km

Whom do you think those affected couples might be?
