you've never seen fire until you've seen pele blow...

"The mother has been denied custody because of her adultery... The father has been denied custody because there is sufficient proof for the court to find that he has been contaminated with the germ of Nazism which makes him totally unfit to rear and guide the destiny of any living thing...

"The father in a communication addressed to this Court has stated: ‘May I wish to say in conclusion that I deem it rather peculiar to balance a political belief, (‘No one even tainted with Nazism is going to have anything to do with that child’) against ethics and matrimonial vows (adultery).’ It is strange to have a pro-Nazi urge ‘ethics’ as a basis for human relationships...

"As a subterfuge Nazism, as the father contends, has been artfully presented on many occasions as merely a political philosophy. In reality it is comparable to a plague that has paralyzed the souls of its adherents and warped their minds, turning them into Robots dedicated to bringing endless human suffer-ing and complete destruction to all of mankind on this earth who possess sufficient strength of mind and character to resist the terrible affliction of Nazism. This should suffice to explain to the father why this court will not permit anyone ‘tainted with Nazism’ to have anything to do with the child, inasmuch as the child is the ward of this court." (Reimann v. Reimann, 39 N.Y.S.2d 485 (1942))

So that's what family law is about!
