I don't know Brett has a fear of sodomy and polygamy but they seem like legitimate questions that should be addressed when heading down this road. There is some "line" where marriage should end and determining where that line is now seems reasonable. I also echo the questions on insurance. Maybe someone better at running numbers can say if financially it would be a benefit for simple friends to get married to gain health benefits. Family coverage is generally a large bump from single but I know my personal single coverage bought from BCBS has a high premium, high deductable, no prescription coverage and pays %80 after the deductable is settled. I'd consider a legal marriage to a buddy of mine to get on his coverage. need to run the numbers first. Personally, I am not sure that marriage is a basic human right. Still I am also not sure an amendment to the constitution is the way to go for those who oppose. as for how i think this relates to st paul? As far as I can see, all a resolution in favor or not in favor will accomplish is it will get St. Paul on a list of cities for groups to use for or against passage at a state or federal level. Good discussion. I am interested in reading more opinions. John Harris webber-camden __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
