Who was this "someone else"? How did they get the authority to speak for all
of Venturing? Were they wearing long black coats with big white collars and
ate turkey in November? Why, if this couple is recognized to be married
under the various laws and statutes of the United States should they be
separated at night? Why is this couple any different than a couple that is
21 or older?
Can someone provide reasonable answers?
