Is it debatable? Certainly. Is it deniable? Nada.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your passing the bar with a high score on your first try. From that and your writings one might posit that the old adage about test takers has some merit…lol. I have known many bright, successful people who have never taken any professional exam so I’m not sure what that’s worth. One might suggest that passing the bar with a high score to become a successful divorce attorney is, at best, circumspect.<BR/><BR/>To my point! You take your fanciful knowledge of the law, coupled with your involvement in divorce cases, assumedly involving quite of bit of philandering, and convert yourself to an armchair psychiatrist to delve deeply into the motivations and feelings of those misbegotten souls who have graced your “couch”. Thereby you become an expert on the rationales for all behaviors of those faced with this kind of dilemma. Surely a cheating husband or wife is devastating. It is humiliating enough if it’s private; but public, oh my! <BR/><BR/>Could it be that <I><B>love</I></B> has something to do with it? Could it be that while recognized as a failing; a weakness in character, it is not perceived as a violation worth destroying multiple lives over? Could it be viewed as a private decision? Could it be that the public nature, in this instance, should not be sufficient to alter one’s own values of the situation? Could it be that, while risky behavior, it is not akin to murder or child molestation or wife beating and therefore is better handled through love and understanding? Could there be elements from your delineation at play? Surely. Are we to be the final judges of whether any of those elements are, in and of themselves, reasonable for not taking divorce actions? <BR/><BR/>I don’t know your religious beliefs – I am as areligious as they come – but most of you diehard conservatives cling to your religion as the driving force to being. Given that, where in common religious teachings is it taught that violations of vows are equalized by additional violations of vows? I believe, somewhere in the bible, it talks about not judging until you have walked in another’s shoes.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, until you take the Medical Boards and maybe pass with a high score, you should confine yourself to negotiating divorce settlements and leave the behavioral judgments to a higher authority.<BR/><BR/>By the way sporie, I am beyond middle age and have been married for 44 years. During those years I have known many friends and associates who, for lack of a better term, were less than faithful. I have also often known much of the personal thinking that surrounded those deviations from the norm. That thinking might go beyond your exposure to the reasons for your client’s actions. At the time you get involved, the emotions are running high and the explanations are usually defensive or offensive in nature. Maybe, if you’re nervous about the Medical Boards, a pastoral certificate would suffice.<BR/><BR/>Can understand your immersion into politics, am guilty myself, but it is after all college basketball season; change the channel!Art A Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463128235828410052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-47846829697739841652008-01-12T11:25:00.000-06:002008-01-12T11:25:00.000-06:00Let's go back to the one where it states LBJ had n...Let's go back to the one where it states LBJ had nothing to do with Civil Rights.
