I was walking out of a courthouse in Stillwater County yesterday when I overheard someone talking loudly on a cellphone—is that a case of being "cellurude?" to make use of a sniglet—about a "breach of contract" suit. That phrase—"breach of contract"—sounded wonderfully old-fashioned and reminded me of another phrase that I haven't heard since my early childhood village days in deepest Wisconsin.
Does anyone use the term "alienation of affection" any more.
Is Montana one of those states where one can sue for "alienation of affection?" Maybe we could find a few lawyers to work up a class action case for all of us that have been treated so badly by President Obama? With the correct motivation it seems you can get lawyers to do most anything.
This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five
