Today, Sunday, Dalton Conley wrote about allowing all adults to confer the kinds of rights currently reserved for "spouses" on other adults in their lives. For example, Conley suggests that each adult citizen could sponsor one other adult to the US, or designate another adult as a person who is protected from having to testify against him or her. Imagine if we could separate out all the rights that are currently given based on marriage and then parcel them out to different adults in our lives! I'm intrigued by the idea yet shudder at the thought of the great increase in bureaucracy and lawyers fees!

Hmm.... spelling mistake or new vocabulary word? Maybe we need a new feature on the site: Take a person's typos and suggest a meaning for the new word:
Individuala = Solitary marsupial-like human being?
Individuala = New occupation, sort of like a doula but focused on creating a perfectly unique birth experience for each woman?
Just a start....
