I am tickled by the story of the man who is pushing an initiative to ban divorce in California. He figures that if the purpose of Proposition 8 (against which he had voted) was to "protect traditional marriage", then it's obvious that the best way to protect traditional marriage, if that's what you really want, is to stop straight people from getting divorced.
He's getting lots of signatures on his petition. There's a good chance it will go on the ballot. Much hoisting by petards. Failure to pass would prove rampant hypocrisy.

It horrifies me a little at myself to say this, but I think divorce (except in the cases of abuse, addiction, etc.) should be a little harder to get.
A lot of times, I think the simple passage of time can clear up the feuds. Along with good counseling, of course.
