Hey, what's wrong with divorce????!!!! If it weren't for the time-honored social contract of divorce, I'd still be MARRIED!!

Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat! Better to live a life millions have already lived, rather than your own, huh? DARE to be boring!!! >> Wake up -- you are living in a changing world. >Changing to what? You assume all change is for the best or just best for you? Changes are happening whether you like it or not. If you don't wake up to the changes, you won't survive the changes. Face it: some social institutions are dinosaurs, changing too slowly to keep up. Some are Irish Elk, changing too fast and for the wrong reasons. Don't look here for the answers! You don't even know how to ask a question!
