I've been emotional (more so than usual since the gay marriage ruling) of late . . .
From reading your posts, I have a hard time imagining that marriage is of any relevance to you...
Anyway, I presume you have been paying attention (this is really for those who have not), I am glad about the marriage equality and about the Confederate flag coming down. Especially the former, as it is not just a symbol. Now, if only we could stop people from being racist and bigoted about homosexuality...
Marriage equality is quite important to some close friends of mine. I have realistic expectations as to my unsuitability for the institution.
OTOH, If John L. outlives his wife, I'd consider asking him . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
