Two straight Canadian men to marry each other

[andrewducker]

There's an article here about two straight men who have noticed that there's a significant tax break for married couples - and are planning to take advantage of it.

Which, I think, just goes to show, that if you allow people to do things for one reason, they'll do it for their own reasons too.  Or as William Gibson once said "The Street finds its own uses for things."

How long, one wonders, until marriage is broken down, and you get to form your own contract using a CC-style choose-your-own-license?

I would like {Insert Name Here} to (a)inherit all my worldly goods (b)have power of attorney (c)love, honour and obey me (delete as applicable)

Why not let him marry BOTH of his sons, even?

See? You let the gays marry and it's THE END OF CIVILIZATION!

I hear next they're going to let cats and dogs marry each other.

I, for one, welcome our new cog overlords.

Given what happened when my cat met the dog next door last night, I think it will be a while before any cogs appear.

Cats and dogs, living together, mass hysteria.
