sorry adrian but shotgun weddings for 17 year olds is never a good idea regardless of how "moralistic" the intent may be.

and i'd say your civil liberties have been eroded pretty spectacularly over the past ooooooooh 7 or so years give or take 5 or 6 weeks yet you're perfectly happy to vote for someone who will drag you further down that path?

and as a final aside, you think someone who by your own admission didn't do a very good job of being a parent should be the 2nd most powerful person in the world?

in fact someone with 5 kids in the so called party of family values going for such a demanding and time consuming job is an example of living breathing irony.
