I proposed that arbitration clauses in marriage contracts be given. Arbitration drastically reduces lawsuits.

Again, ALG doesn't live in Europe.
There were times in the discussion when you seemed to speak for him and with you being from Germany I must have connected the two. My bad. BTW, I used to live in Singapore and yes their national tax rate is very low. Singapore is very unique and it would be hard to compare their gov't to others.

Our marriage debate in central Europe also isn't driven by the Christian church.
I agree. I would say that every nation will eventually abolish the gov't management of marriage. Don't get me wrong, I know that my proposal is way ahead of its time and I know that Germany will be there before the US.
