Those who know me know that I'm prone to bragging about how good my wife is; how she's bought me my truck, my power tools, my guns, and generally makes even the roughest spots in life quite a bit sweeter.

Actually, that's the case in virtually all states, Mercy. Divorce without consent is simply called "no fault" divorce, and it can proceed without consent or even knowledge.

Thankfully I don't know this from personal experience, but too many of my friends do.
Oh, my, what a story, on so many levels!
To wake up and discover communism is gone? Can you IMAGINE?
And of course there are not words high enough in praise for his wife. Thank God no one with the force of law behind him decided that Jan's injury had transformed him from "human" to "plant matter" to be weeded out.
yeah, if you want to get an idea of what that would be like:
Basil Expedition: The cold war is over!
Austin Powers: Well! Finally those capitalistic pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh?
Basil Expedition: Austin....we won.
Austin Powers: Oh, groovy, smashing! Yea capitalism!

Jane, it was surreal enough for me to watch the news in late 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell, and realize that when I visited in August of 1989, that wall was still there and there were fresh white crosses near the Reichstag (now Bundestag) building.
