Texas AG Fights Same-Sex Divorce

So if you can't legally marry in Texas, or any other state for that matter, then are marriages conducted in other states legal? Should people be allowed to get a divorce in a marriage that was conducted in another state?

That is the question facing Texas courts. If Texas doesn't recognize same sex marriages then how could they possibly recognize a divorce from a marriage that they don't recognize ever existed?

What do you think should happen here?

Feds Demand Toyota Info

So our government is demanding that Toyota divulge information recarding the recalls... I am thinking that this may be a conflict of interest. Since our government owns part of American automotive stocks, should they be allowed to see Toyota's information?

I mean, if Toyota is running a bad business, then people will stop buying their cars and they will go out of business. Why can't the government just let free enterprise run its course?

Is it the government's business? Really?

What do you think?
