The two articles below have just been
published in the current (October 2003) issue of PS: Political Science
and Politics, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Political Science
Association and one of the most widely-read and prestigious journals in
the field (http://www.apsanet.org/PS/oct03/toc.cfm).
The first article is by a feminist in response to my article in the
December 2002 issue of the same journal. The second article is my
response to her.
Naturally, I had to use measured language in
a scholarly journal. Yet the fact that neither she nor any other
apologist for the divorce industry can even contest more than a small
part of this argument confirms that the analysis of the problem many of
us have put forth is correct: The
child support system is utterly
corrupt and perhaps the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the public.
It is legally and morally bankrupt and its operatives have no moral
authority to tell anyone how to be "responsible."
Special thanks to Ed Truncellito for help
with many things.
