I wish my Christian Conservative friends would be as fanatic about no-fault divorce as they were about sexual misbehavior that cause far less social and personal harm.
I hate this kind of thing. It happens to crippled veterans and accident victims also: once they are in the wheelchair, the lighthearted spouse wants to flush 'em down the Memory Hole and go off dancing with someone younger.
And people preach to me about how Religion is the source of all social ills. Were it not for the dead hand of the Church, so they say, we could all live as we wish!
Humbug and drivel. I would not wish to live "as I wish" until and unless I stop wishing for wicked and self-centered things.
Traitor and Coward indeed
