We live in a sad, sad world when Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot wins a music award over Johnny Cash.
It's an even worse world when we humans, the "superior" mammals, can't outdo our little animal-friend counterparts. Today, it's ok to divorce for looks, money, boredom, lack of gratification in any way shape or form. Somehow every married couple has been given a minor lobotomy to remove the memory of those simple, simple words, "Till death do us part." Now, someone doesn't pick up their dirty laundry and the other spouse is saying, "Wait...what was it? Till unhappy do us part? Or was it till fed up do us part? OH, I got it! Till I'm unable to handle petty problems and therefore must divorce my spouse as a pathetic problem solving method!"
Do you guys realize how many animals have one partner their entire lives? ONE partner. A penguin will pick a mate and be faithful to that mate their entire existence. An octopus only has one go at it, because the female dies after giving birth...therefore...one mate. A whale has no problem with fidelity when it comes to his or her little whale mate. But here we are...the superior race...and we can't even do something that simple, unintelligent, lowly animals have no problem with.
