Marriage exists for the protection of children, wives, and property? Where the hell was that ever chiseled in granite or written in the Magna Carta or the U.S. Constitution? That may be your opinion, but it's not the opinion of the American Energy Party (AEP).

You strike me as the sort of person who can't be reasoned with.

You strike me as the kind of person who can't answer a question or support his own argument.

Yes, that sounds like a fair assessment.

Well, I'm glad I've finally found somebody around this joint who agrees with me!

Since I was aware of the kind of person I am before you were, I think it is you who are agreeing with me.

No, I'm sorry, I made a statement, and you said, "Yes, that sounds like a fair assessment." I believe that indicates you are agreeing with me.

A wise strategic move and the only known method of getting him to shut his gob.

The recent 5-4 Supreme Court decision (barely a majority and representing the wide disagreement on the issue among Americans) declaring homosexual marriage valid in all 50 states, only amplifies the AEP position that the term "marriage" has no place in government legislation. Marriage licenses and mandatory blood tests should be immediately abolished as serving no legitimate purpose whatsoever.

Given that most people believe being married to more than one person at a time is a bad idea....I think you're mistaken.

It doesn't matter what most people think. Do you want your life run by what most people think?

The blood tests screen for STD's and serve a useful function. To my knowledge they don't bar marriage, but only recommend treatment for the disease. So the blood test serves a medical purpose.

The government does not demand blood tests for people shacking up or having casual sex, so the entire policy is fraudulent.

Common law should have no legal significance, not marriage. Common law forces one into a marriage-alike, though the people involved have purposefully decided against marriage.
