(Dilemma #1) - "Where's the Love Gone?" The IssueLast night the respected tabloid TV show "60 Minutes" ran a report on The New Pacific Order's rising divorce rate. What is happening to the nuclear family? The Debate- Option 1: "There's a simple solution," says Pastor Felix, of the Catholic Church. " Divorce should be illegal. 'For better or worse,' anyone remember how that goes? We should return to the good old days, when you got married for life and stuck by your partner no matter how much of a drunken, abusive, adulterating disappointment they turned out to be."
- Option 2: John Black, author of the hit book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Some Whole Other Place,' has a simpler solution. "If couples would just call each other 'darling' once in a while, there would be far fewer relationship breakdowns. A little affection is all it takes. So the government should make it mandatory: call your spouse 'darling' at least once a day, or face a fine."
- Option 3: "There's a simple way to boost the marriage rate," says gay rights activist Peggy Bush. "Abolish those arcane laws that discriminate against same-sex marriages. It's obscene to treat people differently because of their sexual preference. Besides, everyone knows gay relationships are more stable than straight ones."

And I'm not sure whether or not option three pertains to homa-sexuals.

Of course not. Not unless they're from Oklahoma. Otherwise it could be interpreted as an insult, kind of like in 'the Grapes of Wrath'. You know, Steinbeck...
