" Annie " is no Ann Landers !

Just read " Annie's Mailbox "( Aug.24 , page D-4 ). Annie is

    no Ann Landers and her correspondents tend to be rather vacuous.

              Dear Annie :.... " Last month Clint surprised me with

    an engagement ring. Unfortunately ,the ring is ugly and second

    hand. ".

               A fit ring for the bride ? Clint is making the biggest

    mistake in his life- marrying a shallow material girl. And there

    are millions like her - with a vested interest in bourgeois marriage.

    But very few eligible bachelors with bourgeois bank accounts.

                  And gay marriage will also be a farce - motivated

    by social climbing, greed, and neurotic insecurity.

                   George& Marty will be a lot like George & Martha

    as played by Richard Burton and Liz Taylor.

                  Gay or straight, do you really need the state's

    permission to  play house ? Or the blessing of organized religion ?

                  Most marriages are made in Hell !
