I resisted the urge to go further OT when I first read this-- but
curiosity is killing me. Was there an organized effort to get
pictures of the surviving Hessians up there like Hillard's, in the
states, where he went [on his own dime] across the country in the mid
1800s photographing [what he thought were] the last 1/2 dozen
veterans? Or was he one of the few who had portraits done?

That's a slightly different study than I've been doing.

I don't know how 'regular' it is-- but the Library of Congress'
American Memories Collection has more treasures on it than you can see
in a year or two of browsing-

Hey, that's a nice benefit. I don't know who's paying for what when
it comes to the wedding, but I figured it would come back times over
in tourism.

Oh, okay... well, that was me then. My both of my kids lived with
people they married (eventually) and I was fine with that. My deal is
that if you can commit to kids, then you can commit to marriage too.

Actually, the analogy you are m,aking does not hold in bridge. The
partner in bridge is the person sitting opposite you with whom you
engage in a contract and try to fulfill it.


Not all of them. The insurance policies follow very strict
guidelines set down between the government and the insurance
company.


Intestacy provisions vary from province to province. However, in a
recent decision, the Alberta courts awarded the estate to a common
law spouse ahead of children and other relatives of the deceased.
As it happens, in cases of intestate decedents in Ontario, common
law spouses do not have the right, but that is why we have wills.

wisdom of cattle-sacrificing primitives who thought every
animal species in the world lived within walking distance of
Noah's house.

Intestate succession is one motivator behind same sex marriage. I was
sensitized to this in the 80s, when the family of an AIDS victim
swooped down on a couple's home to take all of his belongings,
including the couple's dog. A pet would normally provide some comfort
after the loss of one's partner. Imagine having even that taken away
from you because it was not registered under your name. Further, how
many people, especially young ones, think to make a will?

At some point the urge to be antiestablishment for its own sake must
subside. Only the thrill of being unconventional is left, because I
take note that cohabitation in Quebec is tantamount to marriage.

I note that in the US, cohabitation -- which establishes no rights and
no responsibilities for the couple -- is largely correlated with lower
economic status and less education. Cohabiting couples also tend to be
much younger than married couples.
