Some of my relatives live in Maryland. I go down their at least two times a year, and everyone I see seem to be very kind..Maryland seems very peaceful and beautiful (especially when those cherry trees blossom!!).

Actually I love Maryland. Certain towns and areas have the Deliverance people I kid about..but this is a great state, horse farms, wide open country and farms, beautiful rivers like the Susquehanna, you have the Chesapeake Bay, alot of history & historical stuff like Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key's grave, Babe Ruth lived here, Edgar Allen Poe lived here, great jazz music/artists are from here.
Yup. I love going down to D.C. I've been there quite a few times, and it never gets old. I love visiting all of those Simthsonian Museums (excuse my spelling). I love all of them except for the garden one. But, the zoo is the best of them all!

My main purpose of going to D.C. was to visit the National Zoo and see the Giant Pandas.
I LOVE PANDAS!!
never seen the big deal, this paragraph also shows why I never cared about it much
Their nuptials highlight a relationship that often draws scorn, yet advocates say is equally misunderstood. Such marriages are common in the Middle East, Asia and Africa and are legal in Europe and Canada.

I was under the impression that marriages between first cousins didn't really attract much comment these days? Not that they're all that common I admit, but here in the UK at least they're legal I believe.
How disturbing...
It is natural for two people who didn't know each other and didn't grow up as family to fall in love with each other. When I was 19 I went to Italy and my first cousin fell in love with me. At the begining I thought I loved him too, but then realized that I couldn't be with him. Maybe it was because he was my cousin, I don't know. But let me tell you that this put a little stain in my family. On the other hand I grew up with my other cousin and I consider him almost like my brother.
