Feminists just were an opportunity to stick it to men and get the wealth.

More effective than the IRS.

All of you are right, of course.

But in addition is the basic primary incentive of government, which is to expand at the expense of everything else in society, these men who destroy the rights of other men do it because they personally profit from it.

If you are a lawyer, family law practice is the second easiest way to earn a living. The easiest way to earn a living is to work for some bureaucracy for a salary and package of benefits, provided you are not trying to prove defendants committed crimes beyond reasonable doubt.

That is the thing. Having to prove a defendant did something wrong, or trying to prevent the proof that a client did something wrong, is hard work and risky.

We have the 5th and 14th Amendments, and most state constitutions, including language that reads to the effect: “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law”. The “due process of law” has traditionally meant a requirement of proof that the person being deprived

DID SOMETHING WRONG.

That is certainly what it means in criminal cases and in civil cases alleging tort or breach of contract.

But with no-fault divorce, we stripped out the risky due process of law part and went straight to the highly profitable (for lawyers, judges, bureaucracy, agencies, advocates, feminist organizations, etc.) deprivation of liberty and property part. Because the higher the divorce rate, the more money to be made by fleecing the breadwinners, we have the one-sided practice that all but forces any woman in a less than ecstatically perfect relationship to run to the courthouse.

And of course, the more disfunctional families we create by stripping them away from the fathers and destroying the fathers, more messed up children we have growing up to be welfare moms, prison dads, convicted felons, drug addicts, bums begging quarters on the streets, etc. to feed the government’s incentive to grow at the expense of everything else in society.

The prison industry, booming.

The police industry, booming.

The drug and alcohol rehab industry, booming.

The psychobabble artist industry, booming.

The homeless advocacy industry, booming.

And of course, welfare bureaucracy, social workers, child support enforcement, divorce litigation, tax funded prosecutors, county jails, are all booming.

And the private companies that benefit from this, and not just Maximus (their first name ought to be Gluteus!). Smith and Wesson not only sells guns, they sell handcuffs. Who do you think their biggest customers are?

Clue, Mistress Nasty Bitch is only a minor account compared to the prisons, police departments, and county sheriffs who get bigger and bigger budgets to handle the consequences of father destroying family law policy.

I can be forgiven for suspecting that such consequences are intended.

And because this is not Marc Rudov’s forum, I offer screaming for the enforcement of the Peonage Law as my proposed solution.

As for documentation of how the impartiality of judges and court commissioners are compromised by their own history as divorce lawyers and family support prosecutors, please see
http://www.antipeonage.0catch.com/justicefiles.htm and click the county links. You can find lawyers working for salaries for Washington’s Division of Child Support by clicking the DSHS links. Some of them stiffed their creditors with Chapter 7 bankruptcies!

Can you send me an e-mail and let me know where this was said?

When children are involved, there’s also parens patriae, by which the state claims an interest compelling it under some circumstances to intervene.

Evidently the shaky mother in this Massachusetts case has in the estimation of the court not crossed the line that would qualify her as unfit, so she’s the `better’ parent to whom they are committed: it’s all or nothing when it’s sole custody, and once the court takes sides it’s very hard for it to change.

An intense enough impulse can dislocate an arm socket, but children at least used to do one-armed pull-ups and even leap from bar to bar on a jungle-gym, all the time. Although she doesn’t advise testing it, Penelope Leach says a healthy newborn has the grip reflex and arm strength to be held suspended by one hand.

My point is, that with ten thousands of men being raped by ex-wives and the courts, I ADMIRE the restraint of the majority of men who haven’t taken the law into their own hands, who haven’t tried to find justice in an unjust system.

I watched a man fight for custody of his children for a couple of years with a wife who had too many men spending the night and who spent too many days passed out from booze to even take care of the kids. It took a suprise visit from a social worker seeing the mom passed out with a loaded gun near for them to FINALLY notice that he, unlike her, didn’t do drugs, had a steady job, and didn’t leave loaded guns around, that he was living a reasonable life.

You are a lawyer, yes?

You apparently recognize that other lawyers, judges, etc. are engaging in illegal behavior.

Like the lawyers, judges, radical (demented) feminists (who comprise much of many social institutions), etc. engaging in illegal (as well as immoral) behavior, you say that it is a father (in this case Alec Baldwin) who is the problem (a lawyers’s nightmare).

Work to bring to justice the errant judges, lawyers, etc. Do not stop until justice returns.

The marriage contract is either a contract or it is not.
