Interesting . . . and sad.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Hey, if you get married, then you have responsibilities and you have to work and pay for things. If you don't get married, the government will take care of things, it's all "FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

...a little extreme, I know, but not by much. Thanks to you LBJ and the Great Society... :whatever:

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Yes, that is sad.  I am the child of two divorces, and had two myself.  My brother has been married for 14 years (Wow, I feel old).  I am still a fan of marriage, just not for me so much. 

When I was growing up, I was the exception, not the norm.  Sad to see that things have flipped in the other direction.   :(
