Billy D,

That was pretty good.


TreeDoc,

I believe in the sanctity of marriage and I truly believe in getting married and working everything out in marriage. In re-reading that sentence of mine, I almost regret writing it. However, lets take a look at marriage. Back when it was invented, people lived a lot shorter lives. So, to stay married for ones entire life probably didn't take much. Nowadays, to stay married for 50+ years takes a ton of work, let alone raising kids together.

If we are really going to harp on the sanctity of marriage, why is it that it is okay for people to live together without getting married, and for some to have children without being married. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that it isn't okay to live with somebody before getting married, but what makes that okay nowadays. How about pre-marital sex?

If I got your post correct, she wasn't the one that told the cops she was kidnapped, her parents/family did that, or they filed a missing persons report and everybody was out looking for her. If she merely corroborated the story after being "found", I would tend to agree with you that there isn't much that should be done to her if she came clean soon thereafter. If my understanding is incorrect (i.e., she was the one who told the cops she had been kidnapped), then I stand behind my previous post. By the way, at dinner tonight I was told that she had actually called the authorities from some rest top and said she had been kidnapped. Something tells me that the prosecutor might be the only one that knows everything going on here.
