Story here. Excerpt:

'When Walter Andre Sharpe Jr. signed for a certified letter from Dauphin County Domestic Relations in 2001, he didn't know he was signing on for a seven-year nightmare.

Since then, the Philadelphia man has been thrown in jail four times, lost his job, become estranged from his four children and spent more than $12,000 to support the child of another man.

It finally stopped in May 2007 when a judge reversed a finding that he was the father.'

This is not an isolated case of bureaucratically engineered False Paternity. There was that scholarship guy in Okla as I recall?
And women wonder why the only guys they can find are schmucks... cuz the smart ones have learned to [ Just Say No! ] (not to drugs... to women).

Men are instinctively weak as far women are concerned. I am aware of this but even so I feel my own vulnerability. The thinking side of my nature just sees women as dangerous and a threat. There was I time I could not even see a woman without feeling tense and uneasy; flinching like the punch drunk boxer who has been battered too much.

I don't think I will ever recover from this.

The only compelling interest the damn state has in determining how much a child or children in divorce or bastardy should receive is only the BARE MINIMUM it takes to keep a child fed and clothed just like in a regular marriage. Anything extra has to be worked out between the couple.

The constitutional benefit to this is that there will not be a compliant slave class that history has shown will destroy the culture that institutionalizes it.
