The world is a pretty place isn’t it?
I think even in Ancient Rome this wasn’t unusual. In the movie “Ben Hur,” Judah Ben-Hur was adopted by his Roman slave master after rescuing him in a shipwreck. It was a way to protect inheritance rights, I guess.
Oh hell no.
Yep, there is no reason they cannot marry under the SC ruling that said that only the federal government has the power to define marriage.
Liberals always claim Southerners are “inbred”. Well, liberals PROVE they are.
