A good example of how it works is in the current "Newsweek". Lawyers
now advise divorcing women whose husbands have abused their children
not to bring it up. The woman appears to be making hysterical
accusations, she is holding out for complete custody with no
unsupervised visitation by the husband.
Meanwhile, the husband is saying that he would be PERFECTLY satisfied
with 50 - 50 custody. He seems reasonable, sober, and accommodating.
The upshot? The majority of abusing husbands end up with complete
custody!

And, you expect reasonable treatment when bringing you yacht back
across the border?

There's no question to me that common sense and the law do not always
go together. I'm not a lawyer, but I think that if I were, I'd much
rather be arguing on the side of what the law actually says. That's
the point I was trying to make before my "profound ignorance" was
pointed out to me by our resident counselor.
