Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well it was voted on by the two houses of Parliament. And really, the House of Commons vote a few weeks ago is really the main act to make it into law. The Senate can amend, but not vote down a law (they are a "sober second look") and royal assent is really a rubber stamp. (The Senate is mostly a rubber stamp too.)

Right on, Canada!
I foresee a future where the precarious competitive balance between Canadian and American male figure skaters tips decidely in favor of the Canuckistanians.

Kat, I think you and Lori should go on a marraige tour. Massachusetts, Montreal, and then just travel through states as they come to their senses, collecting certificates.
And then we can have cake!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Interesting. I finally figured out why I was such a goody two shoes growing up. I never knew why I followed the rules from my parents with out ever getting super rebellious. I had ( and still have) a huge amount of respect for my parents. And they had ( have ) a lot for all thier girls. I didn't do things not just because of fear of punishment, but because I actually didn't want to dissapoint them. I was smart enought to know all the consequences of sex ( or drinking, or drugs, or yes, even speeding). and smart enough to know that good things come to those who wait. and a bit of a chicken-shit. and I hated dissapointing my parents. Really - the best of all leashes. They weren't perfect. We didn't talk much about things like sex and really - more info would have been better.
I think the turning point in me becomming an adult was sometime between the ages of 16 - 18 when my father used the word irresponsible to describe me. which was dead wrong. I left the dinner table. My father came to my room , apologized , and asked me to come back to dinner.
Though it would have been hard, if I had needed an abortion before 18, I would have told them. The likelihood of that happening - seriously almost non-exsistant.
