Harsh Times

Hey genius, it's spelled "AMERICAN." Pretty sure your cabbie knows how to spell it, so should you.

It should them be time for a revolution if and when that happens, God forbid.

When people criticize grammar and spelling, it shows they no other basis for their snarky platform.

My husband received an e-mail about this last week from another attorney. The family law attorneys here are really watching this. Here's the text of his message:

Subject: [DivorceLaw] Unbelievable but true

The Times of London online, reports in it's Sept. 14th edition that England has approved sharia courts in four cities including London so that Islamic law may be imposed in matters including divorce. This is done through the English Arbitration Act of 1996. Two more courts are scheduled for Glasgow and Edinburgh. This is essentially ADR but you have to wonder how voluntary the participation really may be. My last check of sharia law, admittedly a few years ago, granted automatic custody of boys to dads at age 5 and girls at age 7. Property was to be divided 50/50 unless the husband declared the wife to be "disobedient". The article did not discuss arguments to the contrary based on public policy but did indicate six cases have just taken place. Thoughts and comments? At what point does diversity become a burden and not an asset? How about here in our jurisdiction? The full article is at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article4

So, child- does that sit well with you and your brainy cabbie friends?
