... any two individuals have a right to join together in a civil marriage.

Why just two?

Can I marry my mother? My father? My daughter?

If not, why not?

Excellent questions indeed.

This needs to be asked again and again. It is mind-boggling that they have the gall to keep saying "any two individuals," which is entirely arbitrary once you've decided to throw away millennia-old definitions.

I had a girl at work once ask me (a few years ago) why I opposed gay marriage. When I pointed out that you couldn't legitimately limit it to two people if we allow gay marriage, she said, "Well, traditionally marriage has been between two people." To which I replied the obvious "traditionally it has been between a man and a woman." Pause.... ... ... "Good point."

Thats a good way to beat the Estate Tax. Marry a Parent before they die. And then Marry your Child before you go. The Hacks will have a complete meltdown over the possibility of no more Estate Taxes.
