[QUOTE="aspenleaf, post: 223411, member: 5143"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]It seems unfair to deny people rights based upon a definition. There are a lot of convenience marriages in this country and those people have more rights than they should. I agree we need rules and yes definitions will be in those rules. At one point in our countries history the only people that mattered were white men and they set the definitions. I believe the constitution said blacks were equal to 3/5ths of a person; thankfully that has changed! It is ironic that the reason they finally were given status a whole person was to benefit the state (it was all about numbers and the larger the population the more representatives the state would have).
