It's gonna happen, people. And, know you've got allies fighting with and for you until it does.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm pretty much on the side of marry who you want to marry - it doesn't affect me (unless you are trying to marry the person to whom I am already married and you do not want to take 1/3 of the household chores) or my life, so if everyone is consenting and of age - go to it.

I told Hubby he could have another wife if she slept on the couch and did the chores. He said if he ever was in the market for one he'd use that as a criteria.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The "consenting" is important, as this prevents the slippery slope from leading to man/box turtle marriages.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh sure, that's fine for now, but just wait until Science creates a genetically modified talking box turtle. What then? Won't somebody please think of the half-human-half-box-turtle children???

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Strongly discouraging, sure, and encouraging termination in the case of detectable problems, okay. But legally forbidding it or forcing termination? Sounds dangerous to me.
Yeah. I think it's wrong but if it's illegal for siblings to have kids I assume that's to protect the health of the child. Why not therefore make it illegal to smoke while pregnant? Why not make pre-natal care mandatory?

yah, my mind wandered while I was working out today. I thought, am I saying inter-species marriage is wrong? What about Spock's parents? So I decided any being with the capability of informed consent has the right to marry any other being with the same capability.
My true feeling on marriage is that it is a spiritual contract and as such the state should not be involved at all.

Then that'll be the SciFi Channel movie of the week! A courtroom drama, as the box turtle sues for her right to self-determination! Staring William Shatner, representing the State in its attempt to prevent the marriage, and Keanu Reeves as the turtle's attorney....
