What do you mean ? I'm afraid I don't know anything about that amendment.

Let's say you were living with someone who wasn't your husband (as in you didn't have any sort of wedding that would be sanctioned by "the Church") and something happened to you. The person you lived with wouldn't have any say in what happened to you/your furry managers unless you made special arrangements in writing. All decisions would be made by your immediate family (think about the case in Florida of the woman whose husband said that she didn't want to be kept on life support and her parents said that she did [Jeb Bush tried to introduce a state law that would've kept her on life support, no matter what her wishes were.] Same enuram, but without the husband.)

On top of that, all of the benefits entitled to married couples would be severely restricted, if not shut off, from you/your companion (like pensions, health insurance, financial access [like a decent loan for either school, a car or a mortgage], Social Security benefits, etc.) They would be restricted to legitimate spouse and/or non-furred children (possibly ex-spouse.)

Sorry about using your managers this way, but it is the only way I can think of explaining it. btw, please give them a few extra minutes of your attention/servitude for me.

Do you think the democrates can change anything with G.W.B still on charge ? I mean, can they change laws or amendment, like "Defining Marriage" ?



btw my managers are really spoiled, but I'll give them an extra for you

The amendment was vetoed by our governor (who won this past election) when it was first proposed (that was why it was on the ballot.) The amendment would just effect Wisconsin, nowhere else.

I would try to explain the American Political System, but I don't want to overload I, Brian's bandwidth.

Well, I would like to understand the American Political System anyway. I would expect that democrats kick G.W.B a**, but they look mor like they are scared to do it. I understand they wanna win the presidency, too. I wonder what they'll really do if that happens. Sleep on their pillow ?!!!

I first try to understand my electoral system, then I'll try foreign ones.
