My rights end where yours begin, so to speak. Since marriage is between me and whoever I marry, why should the government have any say in who I marry.
So using this line of reasoning, why shouldn't we let (let's use a disturbing example) brother & sister be married? Or in other words,

Absolutely!
And in trying to be a vigilant voter, I still feel quite annoyed with the way state amendment questions 3/4/5 were worded - the popular vote has now taken away even more of our consumer rights, under the guise that this will keep our doctors in Nevada.
