It's absurd for government to be involved in the regulation of
the relationship between a husband and wife -- particularly when, as
has been happening for decades, state legislatures change divorce law
and retrospectively apply the changes to existing marriages,
regardless of when they took place, or the jurisdiction in which they
took place. Marriage has become meaningless as a legal contract with
predictable conditions.

It's also absurd for the government to be involved in the regulation of two
individuals when they separate!
The only thing government should have the authority to regulate is the
collection of taxes, stay the **** out of our personal live and private
business.
