Germans have a different sort of über-conservative

Meet Gabriele Pauli, a candidate for the leadership the ultra-conservative Christian Social Union in the German state of Bavaria. She thinks that marriages should only be good for seven years and then you'd have to do it all over again. I don't think Fr.Pauli has thought this policy through though as she doesn't mention whether it would apply same sex marriages or whether an alteration of wedding gift protocols will have to be revised. She also fails to explain why this doesn't destroy traditional marriage. Nonetheless I wish her well and hope that she develops some more absurd policies that I will have the opportunity to thoughtfully discuss in the future!
