Looks like they are in the process of recovering from that hack.
LOL

I had no intention of hijacking this thread and still don't...The fact remains though that "The Free World" is and has always been more concerned about this issue... and subsequently paid more due diligence in it's administration!

On the other hand though... Should they have prosecuted my father-in-law for taking my-mother-in-law at the tender age of 14 as his wife? There is a 5-6 year age difference there. That would have been prosecutable now under our current law in most states!

They have been happily married now for over 50 years. Mine didn't make it that far, did yours?

Watch the pendulum of public opinion swing and then cast your own independent vote!

Is that possible?

Let's be careful for what we judge and how we judge it. I am damned glad that I was fortunate enough to have found the beautiful, intelligent, loving, caring wife/partner/friend that I found from what would be judged as an illicit or ill-begotten relationship these days. Thank God, Al Gore hadn't invented the Internet back then!

I haven't read the law verbatim, and don't care to. If they wanted to put any real bite in it though, they would have attached appropriated funding at the State Level for the Sting operations already in process and those that are planned. Did they? That might be a "dividing line" whether it was politically motivated or "real". It doesn't take a fricking "witching stick" to understand that, does it? Surely this is a more culturally important issue than bovine flatulence studies and it's effect on the environment... Don't you think?

I apologize for running all over this thread, if it is perceived that way and welcome any comments.
