What the…?!

How could anybody even think to come up with a proposal of a 10-year marriage contract? Really now.

And does parenthood goes with that contract too? Can you imagine a father telling his son, “Sorry son, my 10-year contract is up. Tomorrow, I will no longer be your father.”

It’s a good thing some solons are willing to put a foot on it and not let such a proposal pass them. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, and you don’t even need to be religious to know that!

Perhaps there was a good reason to put an expiration date on marriage (I’m not sure, I’m just giving it the benefit of the doubt lest I call it outright insanity), but definitely there would be losers in such a law… the first one being the proponents of the law.

I pity the children.

Sure, it does not follow that the couple will separate after 10 years, but why even give it an option? As if annulment and divorce isn’t enough, there has to be a fine print in the contract to encourage it.

I really don’t understand the logic of such proposal.

Call me old fashioned, but I still believe that “what God has put together, let no man put asunder.”

Some authorities are abused, and some are abused. What rights has President Arroyo to pardon a criminal when she was not the one who was wronged? This executive clemency thing is really a ridicule to our already inutile justice system.

Color me unforgiving, but the 21 years spent by Claudio Teehankee Jr. inside jail isn’t enough to pay for his killing of the late Maureen Hultman. Sure, release all the criminals out in the street, why don’t you. And just leave those poor innocent people inside because they do not know any high profile government official.

I’d like to write to some more, but I fear that if I continue I may curse and write unprintables here. I’m sure, this isn’t the lone blog that will talk about this. Right now, this much I can say… “nothing beats being friend to the president”
