Now you've done it! You've given those of us in the sixties-plus generation an opportunity to express some of the frustration that we have regarding our offspring and their proliferate lifestyles. My wife and I have been married 43 years, we raised three children. All three of them are in their second marriage and one of them is in the process of ending that marriage but already seeing a lady with two kids. I know it's dangerous to generalize, but it seems to me a lot of the problem stems from the fact that it's been made so easy to get a divorce in today's world. All it takes is for one of the parties to decide they want out of marriage and there is nothing to stop them from ending it, regardless of the consequences for the others involved in the union.

Hmm, birth rates are down. "profligate"?

It is sad how divorce is so common. My son was asking me the other day about what will happen if his dad and I get a divorce. I told him it wasn't going to happen. It would have to be something major for that to happen.

No law, easy-divorce or hard-divorce, is going to force two people who hate each other to live together. The fault isn't in the law, it's in the people.

No fault divorce is pure evil.
