Now, why would VA interfere with legal contracts between two adults? That's taking it too far.

Guess you must have flunked out of law school. An agreement between two parties is only a contract at law subject to very specific conditions, which condtions vary BY JURISDICTION.

Contract Law 101: A contract is only valid and enforceable when the jurisdiction under which the contract has been entered AFFIRMS its validity.

Don't take my word for it; ask your personal attorney. Now, any other ''questions'' about ''legal'' contracts between two adults? How about the ''legality'' of two adults formally contracting, in writing, with consideration deemed appropriate on both sides (what?!? you never heard of ''consideration''? wow!), that one sodomise the other at high noon on June 1st on the Capitol steps in Richmond? Is this a contract that is valid and enforceable at law, hotshot?

I'd wager 98-99% of FReepers get the answer to that Q correctly, never mind legal training on their part or not. And I'd even be tempted to make a small wager, two actually: 1) that you won't respond to this post, and if you do, your response will re-betray your pissanthood, and you will whine throughout about state ''interference'' with private contracts, and 2) your response won't have any coherent comment about real-world contract law, its administration, its enforcement, or its underlying premises.

Send for the WAHHHHmbulance, queen.

That would, of course, be -- per your handle -- ellery queen.
