They certainly had to go far to shop this story---Watertown, New York!The article mentions the St. Louis Post Dispatch. My guess is the Watertown TV station picked up the UPI story as a "get-a-load-o'-those-crazy-red-staters" piece.
Lone Jack is a very small town about 40 miles east of Kansas City.
Black Jack is an upper-middle class (if memory serves) town about 12 miles north of St. Louis.

There is no "right to privacy" in the XIVth Amendment. Skip the Warren Court Mickey Mouse jurisprudence.

Olivia and Fondray are men's names now? No, "Fondray" is a man, since the article says he's not the *father* of one of Olivia's children. And I'm assuming that the Mayor of Black Jack, "Normal," is also a man.

Why does that matter? You keep talking about whether or not a couple that isn't married can be committed. Some couples don't want to get married, some don't want children, some don't want either. Why is it your business to decide whether or not they can buy a house together?

You may choose to rebel against societal norms, but don't lecture those of us who stand up for the historic institution of marriage.
Sorry bud, but there is no real commitment without a legal relationship together.

4 people is considerably lower than 35.

These are crazy rules designed to avoid thrity five illegal immigrants from setting up shop in a neighborhood house. You can draft a much more tight ordinance to deal with such a situation. Limit occupancy to x number of people per bedroom or some such.

There is no "right to privacy" in the XIVth Amendment. Skip the Warren Court Mickey Mouse jurisprudence. Says an anonymous poster on a chat board. Until the Supreme Court says differently, there is.

And why aren't they married? Probably they need time to think it over and decide if it's right for them.
LOL!
Brutally hilarious

That's another possibility. One of my Mom's friends (now in her 70's) hasn't married the man she's been "with" (they don't live together) for at least 10 years, because she wants her ex to keep paying. She hates his guts, with some justification.

This must be public housing.

I don't see how any town can have laws against "toys" after the activist supreme court ruling (which eliminated all sodomy laws, not just those that "discriminated" against same sex pairings).
They claim obscenity but even when same sex sodomy was illegal in Texas (and defined as deviant in the law), same sex porn was not obscene in the state.

The govt. is not deciding anything.
It is their choice whether or not to get married.
But, they should know that the govt. will consider their choice to be less than desirable.
Theologically, they are also living in sin.

If it was MY house it would be my business. Why is it anyones business who I can sell or rent to?

Ah, so the couple that drunkenly decided to get married while they were in Vegas is much more committed to each other than this couple is. I mean, they are LEGALLY binded together!

Why does that matter?In other words, there are none.
Not much of an adult relationship - sounds like a first year out of college that's lasting two decades and counting.

I personally wouldn't care if Olivia and Fondray lived next to me as long as they behaved. But I sure would feel sorry for the kids.
To: BadAndy
It's not YOUR house, or anyone else's house. It's their house, adn they legally bought it.

Limit occupancy to x number of people per bedroom or some such. Great - they'd probably make my family (10 people in a 4-bedroom house) move out!
