- Horseshit, once again, Karl.

- Gee, don't you get tired of looking stupid?
-
- The social services agencies will care for children that have been relinquished
- by custodial parents. Regardless of sex. Get used to it.

- Well, that's the current method of keeping our taxes below 50%, yeah. Now,
- have you really proposed anything to make that better, or have you proposed
- something that makes it worse? We haven't seen a convincing economic
- analysis.
-
- I think we'd be better off awarding custody to men in 50% of the cases, which
- is my proposal. Simly to 'even things up' a bit and make both the rewards and
- the hardships more random. Which would in turn drive more consideration in
- both work and social situations towards parents and children alike, instead
- of ghetto-izing them as occurs today.
