William Thompson Howell, like all snowbirds, had more than a gutfull of Arizona summers. And decided his 3rd wife needed him back in Michigan before his six month anniversary of first showing up.

He'd moved from Prescott to Tucson almost as soon as his Code was approved, searching for someplace where more than one out of three men wore shoes.

His 3rd wife was trying to care for his 7 kids by herself since his first two wives and some of their babies died as he tried to knock out babies as fast as he could.

So. ...... yeah, I can see why it's so important to respect the intent of the Author of our Code.

4,000,000 women in Arizona should bow at the feet of his statue, wherever it is, in respect for that one dude who knew how to write stuff and also wore shoes.

I can attest to the fact that ratemyprofessors.com is, in fact, overrated. Take it from someone who never received the coveted "chili" for looking hot in the classroom even though he totally deserved it!

Best summary of the Fontes/Finchem debate I've seen yet: "As expected, Fontes kept a cool head and Finchem was bananas. "

Thanks for the connection to the 1864 law. Shows you have to actually know the history to benefit from its lessons. By the way; are all candidates crazy?
