Catching Up and Cashing In
I feel bad about having been so quiet for the last few days. I've been going through some personal stuff. If I were a slightly different sort of diarist, it'd be excellent grist for the mill, but as it is, I'm gonna hold off on posting about it 'till it's more settled.
In the meantime, I'm gonna do a little catching up this evening.
Massachusoids are aware already of one of the more recent twists in the gay marriage saga--I dunno how much the rest of the country has noticed. It turns out that an old anti-miscegenation law will probably keep out-of-staters from taking advantage of Mass same-sex marriages.
I submit that this is unwise and unfortunate, even if one is anti-gay-marriage. The close relationship between gay unions and tourist money is widespread and occasionally hilarious. If there's going to be rampant immorality and flouting of tradition going on, shouldn't we at least be able to cash in on it?
UPDATE: The boys at Brutal Hugs argue persuasively that state Attorney General Thomas Reilly is playing politics with this law.
Although Reilly presents this as him just enforcing the laws on the books, it is a case of selective enforcement. The state does not maintain a list of states and their ages of consent so they can turn away young couples. It doesn't maintain a list of how different states define incest so they can turn away related couples. In all these instances, you have couples whose marriages are fine by Massachusetts law but might not be fine back home. In only one of these cases does Massachusetts feel the need to be so vigilant as to enforce its 1913 ban.

As someone who does see stagflation lite on the horizon, perhaps even the near-term horizon, i would like to know why greenspan thinks it "doesn't" seem that we are entering a period of stagflation.
