If they were the only example, then I wouldn't generalize. But they're not. What happened to me happened to over 50% of the people I knew as a child. You think we didn't compare notes?

Here's a mental exercise for you: try to come up with a divorce scenario that is not dependent on a moral failure by one party or both. (It can't be done - the breach of a solemn oath itself is a moral failure.)

How about the scenario where 50% of the country loathes you and will do anything to destroy you because they perceive you the enemy and the other 49.99999% won't protect you.

Rush gets the adulation and reward but his whole live and Marta's are open to any sort of speculation. Scratch yourself wrong and you'll be on Time magazine. I for one am glad that he continues to fight.
