This is an interesting article I found that is actually encouraging and argues that the divorce rate is not quite as high as most Americans believe it to be.

Aerosmith sings about an abused child killing the bastard.

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
they found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin' Now that Janie's got a gun
she ain't never gonna be the same.
