3. Any waiting time is too damned long
Especially with regards to rights acknowledged by the United States Supreme Court as "one of the basic civil rights of man."

See Loving v Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967).

Bear with me...I have a point, it's just going to take a couple posts to get to it.

9. OK...I agree with that 100%
It wasn't where my train of thought was going, but close enough.

11. Thank you...I haven't been out in years
