[Tom Araya]

Good idea, or bad?

Cousins by blood - no
Cousins by marriage - no problem

You dirty dawg.

I don't really care. Legally, how can it be treated any differently from other "non-traditional" types of marriage?

Along with gay marriage, I would be fine with, polygamy, marriage between cousins, siblings etc. I think it is stupid, and would not encourage any of these types of marriage, but how can we fight the rights of people to marry whomever they fall in love with.

I think their needs to be a opt out card......if your cousin in Christy Brinkley, etc........it should not be a negative thing.

However, if you talking about Roseann Barr........you should be treated by a Doctor.

Dan & his wife were divorced earlier this year----no longer an issue.

People who married their first cousin:

Albert Einstein's parents
Charles Darwin
Prince Albert & Queen Victoria
Rudolph Giuliani (2nd cousin)

The incidence of mental retardation and birth defects among married cousins is only 2% higher than the general population, while it is 8% higher for women older than 40 who give birth. Perhaps we should outlaw birthing amongst those who are on the cusp of menopause.

By the way, it is legal to marry your first cousin in 25 states.
