Deb Cupples | New Yorkers are celebrating (except certain religious leaders) because their governor finnnally signed into law a bill that provides for no-fault divorce.
The State Assembly had passed the bill more than a month ago, and Governor David Paterson took his time signing it.
According to the New York Law Journal, the new law will take effect in October.
Apparently, a divorce in New York was even more torturous than in the other 49 states because couples had a choice between 1) filing for an uncontested divorce, which took a year; or 2) having to prove that one spouse was at fault (e.g., adultery, cruelty, abandonment, or imprisonment).
Reportedly, Catholic leaders are not happy. It's not their business anyway: they aren't married and, therefore, will not be subject to divorce laws.
Said leaders might benefit from refraining from intruding into people's personal lives and instead tending to their own housekeeping issues (e.g., the sex scandals -- which, according to CNN, have gone global).
Coming from a Catholic family, I mean no disrespect to people of that faith generally.
Right on, Debs! Now it's time for the CHURCH to enter the new millennium, and ordain women while they'te at it!

With several vibram five finger returnees that played last year including three starters, and a large group of talented vibram fivefingers kso newcomers, the linebackers will be the strength of the Reddie defense. Leading the way will be Mike vibram five fingers Wightman, Steve Butrick, Kevin Lloyd and Taylor Stone. Kyle Mathieu, fivefingers kso, Ben Chandler, and Benny Anderson add depth to the Reddie middle four. Mathieu played in all 10 vibram five finger shoes games last season and totaled 17 tackles. The other three are cheap vibram five fingers newcomers, with Aldridge transferred from Indiana State fivefingers shoes where he played in all 11 games on special teams. Chandler comes to Henderson from American River fivefingers kso trek shoes Community College where he was an All-American pick, while Benny Anderson comes to Henderson after having 62 fivefingers shoes tackles, including eight tackles for a loss and one interception last year at Antelope Valley Community vibram fivefingers shoes sale College.

Hefting backpacks and calling out to old friends, they passed by two familiar faces in new fivefingers kso trek positions.
