I agree. heh anal sex is illegal in Maryland also (other states too?). I would say by far the best example of this would be that it is actually indeed illegal for 2 people to live under the same estate without a marriage license.. learned it in civics class (well it was do-the-homework-for-the-wannabe-lawyer class, but still). look how many ppl live together and have babies without being married and everyone knows. I too think this is proposterous and most likely won't be enforced. > -- __ __\ \ Game Program ( R G / /_\ \ .gampggrmx.1x26s..1<,www.freq-div.home.ml.org<,, \_____/ >> xxx@xxxxx.xxx >> < > .. >> .<>> >> >
