If more marriages lasted the way they used to I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be as much of things like the Jonesboro, AR middle school students shooting classmates because of a puppy-love breakup. All the media initially pounced upon this as a result of "southern tradition" and love of guns. Well, the ring-leader was from the southern state of Minnesota, south of Canada anyway.. I wish that people would cease trying to blame everything on someone/something else instead of owning up to responsibility for their own actions. A good marriage is more vital to the offspring it produces than to the pair of people who profit so greatly from "making it work!" ...
