Their relationship is (was) no threat to my (former) marriage.<BR/> <BR/>It SHOULD be a simple legal contract, blessed by whichever of our tribal witch doctors you choose.<BR/><BR/>Just take care of whatever kids (or cats) involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-82969809320055965772008-03-04T12:37:00.000-05:002008-03-04T12:37:00.000-05:00Ah-HA!

A simple contract (rough draft)-<BR/><BR/>"This contract incorporates by reference all statute and common law incidents and rights of marriage and married persons as they exist at signing, and as they are enacted or repealed, as they apply in (name of state).<BR/><BR/>I person 1, hereby give to person 2 all rights, privileges, and ownership of property that person 2 would have if person 2 were my spouse.<BR/><BR/>I person 2, hereby give to person 1 all rights, privileges, and ownership of property that person 1 would have if person 1 were my spouse."<BR/><BR/>That would do it. And everybody who has any legal background knows it. The only thing that it would NOT do is force insurance and pension rights that belong to third parties.<BR/><BR/>This "gay marriage" stuff is ALLLLLL about that third party cash.staghoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976667812875074135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-2901430750952148382008-03-04T09:39:00.000-05:002008-03-04T09:39:00.000-05:00It sounds like a good plan to me.

Tough luck; the Unitarians wouldn't let me carry a gun, either.
