Only the UK have children sadder than in the U.S.

Come on guys, we have to try harder. One click away from the saddest kids. No more Hannah Montana would probably seal the deal. No more Pokemon either.
On a serious note though; I see more and more marriages slipping into divorce over really stupid things that people could work out. Worse, I see people stay together and not try to work things out and just make themselves even more miserable, along with the rest of the family.
Why would kids be so sad? Because the kids are learning the same bad behavior from their parents that we parents learned from our own. We are all just a bunch of cheaters here in the good old "Church lovin'" USA. If you say "no" to that, odds are you are lying. There are a few "good" ones out there, but they never seem to find a "good" mate. It's pretty sad to watch and why I stay alone now.
I do have a positive suggestion; Suspend the Death tax and institute a Divorce tax. All assets are liquidated and 1/3 goes to the state with the remaining 2/3 is split between the couple. Any kids are immediately sent to Foster care for a year, to let the parents sort themselves out. Divorce rates would plummet.
