Not to ignore your response, but I was listening on the AM radio this am. The show is basically a run-of-the-mill news show. The discussion at hand had nothing whatsoever to do with divorce, custody, support, etc. I can;t recall if it was one of the DJ's, a guest, or someone calling in, but a guy basically said he had the "average rural Texas" values and if could do nothing else, he'd bring all the fathers who are behind on child support to the town square and "hang 'em all." He didn't have an angry tone and I guess he just had some beef about it from something he's read (or maybe has a female relative who isn't getting CS), but it REALLY made me think of just how out-of-touch a lot of people - EVEN MEN - are about the whole child support issue. Yes, there probably ARE *MEN* (notice it was "MEN" and not people) who have the means to pay CS but purposely don't. But that's a VERY, VERY small percentage of not only divorced fathers, but of men who are behind, period.
A'las, such a long way to go.
EDIT: I remember now, the topic on the show was what you would do on Father's Day if you could. That's when the guy made his statement.
