[SGVLUG] [OT] Go vote, get freebies!

[Solomon K. Chang]

Ah, except that by changing one's taxation status or dragging personal/real property into common law, you've now turned marriage into a political/economic issue, not a social one.

There are laws imposed on us if I call you my business partner.  However, there are no laws governing if I call you my friend.  The former relationship can be affected by legislation.  The latter cannot.
