What the hell does the family law system have to do with WWIV? The author seems to be going through a bout of severe depression and is taking it out on our beloved country. If you don't like the system, then work to change it! As for spouses, choose carefully. Being an engineer, I drew up a specification list for my wife and CHARACTER was at the top of the list. It took me 5 years and over 300 dates to find her. I have two wonderful childdren in college now.
LOL! I tried a more empirical route--before I drew up some specs of my own--and finally got good results.
If I had known then what I know now....
