To Avoid Divorce, Move to Massachusetts - By Pam Belluck Link

BOSTON — If blue states care less about moral values, why are divorce rates so low in the bluest of the blue states? It's a question that intrigues conservatives, as much as it emboldens liberals.

As researchers have noted, the areas of the country where divorce rates are highest are also frequently the areas where many conservative Christians live.

Kentucky, Mississippi and Arkansas, for example, voted overwhelmingly for constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage. But they had three of the highest divorce rates in 2003, based on figures from the Census Bureau and the National Center for Health Statistics.

The lowest divorce rates are largely in the blue states: the Northeast and the upper Midwest. And the state with the lowest divorce rate was Massachusetts, home to John Kerry, the Kennedys and same-sex marriage.

In 2003, the rate in Massachusetts was 5.7 divorces per 1,000 married people, compared with 10.8 in Kentucky, 11.1 in Mississippi and 12.7 in Arkansas.

Oh, there ain't no flies on us.
There ain't no flies on us:
There may be flies on some of you guys,
But there ain't no flies on us.
Oh, there ain't no crumbs on us.
There ain't no crumbs on us:
There may be crumbs on some of you bums,
But there ain't no crumbs on us.
Oh, there ain't no bugs on us,
There ain't no bugs on us:
There may be bugs on some of you thugs,
But there ain't no bugs on us.

Ha ha!
