I do. I think that's a good thing. That's always been my position, that--you've got gay couples that, for example, have been together for years now. One of them--and I'm beginning to think about this, because I'm moving into this age bracket now; one of them has a heart attack; one of them gets sick; one of them is in the intensive care unit in the hospital; and only family members can come in; and sometimes they're not allowed in--that kind of thing. You know, I think that, in terms of health care coverage at work or in terms of property and willing of property to your closest family member, that sort of thing, I think they ought to be able to do that. Mr. King. But not marry?
