Did you know that it is ILLEGAL for unmarried, heterosexual couples to live together in Florida?

No , if that's what they wanted they'd get married. Wild eyes . Things like adding a spouse to insurance policies, Hospital visitation and health care decisions.

Filing taxes jointly . Rights to pensions , Social Security and Medicare benefits and rights to survivorship with regard to personal property. You too Mel BTW , This is the real foundation of what gays are fighting for with gay marriage.

It has nothing to do with love or happiness and everything to do with the stuff mentioned above.

My wife and I lived together for a few years before we got married. Don't recall getting anything differently after the ceremony, to what benefits do you refer?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
