actually, i misspoke - kurt russell and goldie hawn aren't married so kurt
is not actually her step-father, but given the long term relationship with
kate's mother, he might as well be.

Common law marriage varries from state to state. Many states base it on
whether a couple is claiming to be married (referring to eachother as "my
husband," or "my wife," and so forth) regardless of the amount of time
involved. Michigan courts don't recognize common law marriages at all, saying
that if the legislature had wanted to consider people who hadn't had a wedding
to be married, they would have done so.
You can find some information about this at www.icle.org.

It seems pretty reasonable to me. From the point of view of the law,
marriage is a property relationship between two people with substantial
implications. Whether or not the state considers you married (in a
real property sense) isn't necessarily related to whether you, your
friends and family, or your co-religionists recognize a valid "marriage"
in whatever sense that may apply.

"Common law" means law established by legal precident instead of by the
legislature. In other words, even in states where it is very easy to be
considered common law married, that's something done by the courts, rather
than by the legislature. The Michigan courts have said it's the legislature's
job to define marriage, not theirs.

It's a "precedent" not "precident" - and common law is part of our legal
system which we inherited from the English (except for Lousiana, but
that's another story). I also think it would be more accurate to say
that in states that have common law marriages, it's a pre-existing
condition the court recognizes, rather than an action the court takes.
Ie, you can't just go up to a judge and ask to be common-law married;
rather, as part of some other process the court might recognize that you
have or had a common law marriage. Kind of like in this state a court
might decide that, as a matter of fact that yes, you did indeed break
into that liquor store and steal that booze, or yes, your hair really
was dyed green when you did that.

I saw Mision to Mars this weekend. Not that thrilled. Some of the effects
were good, and t hings like that, but the plot was SEVERLY lacking. I didn't
care about the characters, or the mission, or Mars for that matter. They
tried to give it direction and some "moral" weight, but when that didn't work,
they just kinda played it out with interesting science stuff.
I didn't like it, but I found it interesting.
I also watched Beyond the Mat. GREAT movie. Yes, I loved wrestling when I
was growing up, and yes I know it's fake. But I did wonder what happened to
some people. I loved Damien, the snake of Jake the Snake, and they tell what
happened to Jake. They tell a lot of other stories too. It's not just glitz.
I thought it was a great documentary.
Also got Demolition Man (hee hee!), Willow, and the Abyss. Loved all of them.
That's why I rented them again.

Hey . . don't you *like* folk music?
Perhaps you should be interrogated.
