Breaking up is hard to do, but much more expensive in today’s Hollywood than rural Georgia of three decades ago.

Why I am appalled Mr.Stein.
Mel Gibson is a Hollywood icon bringing us fabulous movie entertainment that no other contemporary has even been close to providing. His movies are excellent beyond compare.

It’s not like she was cleaning house during the marriage. In my opinion it is unjust marriage laws like these that destroy men’s trust in the institution altogether.
