Ok, now there is no real relavance to this post, but I just got back from 10 days in Bolivia (the poorest country in South America). Strange social systems there. I think you ladies would clearly frown on their legal system. For example, if a man commits a crime, but he can prove to the judge his job makes the money for the family, the wife goes to jail. Wife won't give you a divorce? Pay the judge $1,000, and you can send her to jail for 8 years. Children? Well, they get to go with the women to prison. Oh, did I mention you had to pay for your cell, or you slept outside in the dirt? And their mental health system? You don't want to hear about it. (But if you do, I'll tell you!).
