Hi David,

YES YOU DO! Just like me, you have the right to marry ANY woman who will have you. But, today, you cannot marry a man, nor can you marry a child, nor can you marry a sheep, nor can you have five spouses.

So, you and I have exactly the same rights. However, what you are asking for is a "special right" to do what our laws say you cannot do.

Hey, the pedophile has the same complaint! The bigamist has the same complaint. Farmer John and his sheep have the same complaint.

What is that complaint? We want to be given a "special law" -- we want to live in our own special set of rules.

So, do it! Just don't call it marriage.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
