"It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners," Kramer wrote.
>> Also no rational reason why mother-daughter, father-son, brother-brother, sister-sister can't marry. In the case of mother-daughter or father-son, it would be quite practical for children taking care of elderly parents and needing the SS survivor benefits, and no inhertance tax. <<
Then it'll be adult-child, human-animal, environmentalist-tree, etc. ("Get away from my wife with that chainsaw!") Once you junk the religious reasons for man-woman marriage, and it becomes "because I want to", what standard remains to use in deciding what's right or wrong?
That is actually a damn fine argument against this I hadn't considered. I will remember that if it passes and my father or grandfather becomes a widower...then I'll tell my little brother to consider it. BTW, I will also be recording your ISP just in case my grandad, dad and little brother gang up on me to beat the crap out of me for even suggesting it. :)
Now that's a great idea......never thought of it. It sure would be helpful for those that do care for elderly parents or siblings.
