Alabama passes legislation repeals requirement for marriage licenses.
requirements to obtain a marriage license by the State of Alabama are hereby abolished and repealed. The requirement of a ceremony of marriage to solemnized the marriage is abolished.” Consider those seeking to control the state’s definition of marriage is that a marriage license means a person requires government permission before getting married.
I think what the Founding Fathers meant was they didn't want a church, ie the Church of England, meddling in government.
I don't believe for an instance that they did not intend for those involved to not call upon God (of their choice) for guidance in guiding the newly formed country and solving the problems it faced.
Freedom to practice their religion as they so chose was one of the biggest reasons for coming to America. Why in the world would they then write it out of the lives of those that were chosen to govern them?
This is not myth but scientifically proven. So unless both parties are of the same sex or have been neutered it's not only not a good idea but more than a little creepy.
Think about Woody Allen marrying his adopted daughter. They aren't even related and that's just strange IMO.
In the circle game *
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
Joni Mitchell
One of the things I've always been impressed with are the 3 tragedies. They are: The tragedy of ignorance, knowledge and desire. Are you familiar with this? Ignorance is when something is about destroy you and you haven't a clue (an auto accident). Knowledge is when someone is being destroyed and you are helpless to help them ( a surgeon who cannot save his patient). Desire (the most insidious) You are a circle within a circle The outer circle represents your desires. You grow and grow until you encompass the outer circle, only to find that now there is a new outer circle.Ah, those Hindus.
Some of the values that I speak of is responsibility
For your actions ,teach your children manners and responsibility, earning your own way, be honest and caring for your family, live ethically, live a life to be proud of, respect others, that type of thing.
The Akashic Records are understood to have existed since the beginning of The Creation and even before. Just as we have various specialty libraries (e.g., medical, law), there are said to exist various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral, etc) encoding Universal lore. Most writings refer to the Akashic Records in the area of human experience but it is understood that all phenomenal experience as well as transcendental knowledge is encoded therein.
But the way I would discourage women from raising children by themselves when they can't afford to is by (1) rolling back the child-support law to what it was in 1900 (no wedding, no child support) and (2) eliminating the welfare subsidy for having children. Then if you can't support your children, you would have to put them in foster care or go to jail for child neglect. I would expect this program to greatly improve life outcomes for the children affected, because it would remove them from the homes of mothers who only had them as a means of collecting welfare benefits in place of getting jobs (and who are therefore very bad role models, in whose footsteps the kids are now very likely to follow). More to the point, it would mostly prevent kids with those poor prospects in life from being born at all.
Finally, I would legalize prostitution so that guys would have a good alternative to getting married if they're not really interested in raising children in the first place.
(Aside: I find it quite amusing that the people who talk the most about "the attack on family values" -- the religious right -- are probably more wedded than anybody else to the one government program that really started the breakup of families -- Social Security. First created by Bismarck in the 1870s, social security was what made it feasible for adults to move out of grandpa's house and form nuclear families. Is there anyone here who'd want to go back?)
In contrast (apparently) to the people talking about yin and yang, I believe contracts should be as specific as possible, and that freedom of contract should be near-absolute, because it reduces uncertainty and thus the need for, and cost of, litigation.
Personally I'm more affected by the Hindus.They believe that you and I and all living things are a part of a universal intelligence, a great all, if you will. When you die you may return to it if you've been very good or you can be sent back, hence reincarnation. Depending on your status you could be a cow a cockroach, a dog or a human, the highest human being a Brahman, just one step below your atman (soul) returning to the GA. There's more, but the BW just called me to dinner. I never miss that if I can help it.
This goes well with a warm meal.
Right over the dinner table.
The culprit ultimately is the entitlement of collectivism enabling a non working mother to have multiple kids all feed and sheltered for no effort.
