A lawyer who feels bad...
Woah! Dig this. An ex-lawyer wringing his hands over the depravity of family courts. A Christian no less, who thinks "humanity is a huge waste of flesh" and "making a $100,000 a pop ... softens the blow of splitting up a family" (athough, to give him credit, he's not talking about himself in the latter). Overall, I think he thinks he's showing some conscience over the awfulness of the whole thing, but as far as I can tell, he's just another Pontius Pilate.

Whups, you got me on the ex-lawyer thing. I misread your profile.
However, I put it to you that you are not actually looking honestly at the nasty world of family law. If you were, you would have something to say about the flaws of the system as well as the bad behavior of the people who get caught up in it. Instead, you imply that all the fault lies in the litigants, you stand over them in judgement without attempting to understand what might be going on from the human point of view.
As for the Pontius Pilate thing, it is not ignorant, nor out of line. I may grant you the "insulting" bit, mildly, depending on how objective you are about the meaning of the bible. Pontius Pilate saw a nasty situation and thought he could get away from the whole thing by washing his hands and leaving the rabble to make their own decision. He didn't so much condemn the accused as judge the rabble and their victim as a whole and dismissed their problems as beneath him. As such, he allowed the crime to be committed when he could have taken a stand for justice, if he had bothered to try a little harder.
As for my understanding, I have had more than your three years of the worst kind of education in family law. I am an intelligent, educated man and I know a badly designed system when I see one.
