Any "Domestic Partner Registry" is subject to significant fraud just like the recent media investigation showing huge problems with the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry.
What prevents people from claiming benefits from more than one employer for more than one "partner"?
Don't see the HR department conducting sex & committed relationship audits with home visits?
Words cannot adequated express how riduculous this is. How can anyone go from 8.8 million to 29.2 million (thanks for the $4 gas prices by the way)??

Sponsors only come where the fans are, so seems to me they have to do something to get more fans in the seats before selling advertising space on the walls. And 220 MPH ain't going to do it!
TV ratings anyone? Name a driver that is not Penske or Ganassi? Ads on the turns? "It's a business..." that is the problem. It's racing and they are ruining it. Tony H. is spinning.
