Good to hear it.

Also, I have noticed that in the long run decent people live happier lives, even if they are impoverished, whereas selfish people may make off with the money and kids, but they aren't necessarily happier in the end. They have to live with themselves.

I fear you assume they share your values. Most of the "taking class" seems to be very similar to my pet cat, "DemoCat".

DemoCat earned his name by always being there for a free meal AND feeling entitled. Alas, same for the "taking class", be they NOLA basket cases or divorcees.

So have I noticed that. Also, I have noticed that they are less likely to have these addiction problems and substance abuse, which florish among those who abandon their marriages.

In some cases, divorce is the only way to dissolve an unhappy or violent union. But in a lot of these easy divorces, it is some ridiculous notion that gets into people's heads, that they can go out and shop for a new partner. Much unhappiness results.

Can we annoy HiHeels by trying to formulate a new "global statement" along the lines of,

People who win certain contests in life are the ones who end up globally screwed?

Hello, HiHeels. Wish you'd get down off that fence and quit crayfishing, LOL.
