No, I do not have a divorce decree that I am unhappy about. No, I do not pay any money to anyone because of any divorce decree. My whole concern with this issue is that I do not believe that a society that estranges a significant fraction of its adult male citizens from their children is stable. I would like to think that this is obvious to people, but there are those who cannot get their nose out of the case-by-case details. They appear to be incapable of abstract thinking. Too bad for them. I do not know what the failure mechanism will turn out to be with this, or how it will unfold, but I am quite certain that divorce by divorce, we are creating a society that men will have no stake in, and which pits them against their own government over an issue as basic as the natural human right to live with one's children. Stuff like this is how tea ends up in the harbor, and we're treating it like it's no big deal. Oh sure, some day all children will live only with their mothers and men will be forced by the state to support them all. It'll work just fine. Here's a hint: no it won't. We can either start now to adjust this system so that it's something that everyone can live with, or the government that makes this happen is going to get a root canal from its male citizenry. |
Oh, stop it. You do not know that I have any baggage on this subject. You're projecting your own mental processes onto someone that you don't even know and pronouncing it true. It always seems to baffle the self-centered among us that people can get upset about some principle of justice or governmental abuse without having a personal dog in the fight. Well, it happens every day on FR. It's what we do here.
