Call back

When I was filling a mandatory government document while in France, there was a query in the form asking me if I was still married (one year after). For whatever debatable reasons, it is nevertheless a valid question because you cannot for sure say domestic situations are the same this year as they were the previous. I was told there is another implicit reason. For contract marriages there, the arrangement has to be renewed each year, calling for such queries in administrative forms.
Let us try to look it in another way. In an ideal society where both man and woman are treated equal and have equal liberties in everything, having an expiry date and then having to renew it is a very good way of ensuring there is no “taking anything for granted”.

Pushing this further, I think this should apply principally to our politicians than to any other deed. Imagine how you can bring back the non-performing politicos sent by us to the Parliament and the assemblies. But then, politics would cease to be a business, which it is now!
