What if MERS Applied to Other Areas of Our Lives, like Marriage?

MERSready.jpgA funny proposal about instituting a MERS like system to replace the traditional marriage recording system has been floating around recently and it shows just how arbitrary, ineffective and useless MERS actually is. The new system would be called "SERS" or the Spouse Electronic Recording System and would replace the tradition marriage recording system with a paperless system that allows for greater freedom to those people who would like to "leave their options open!"

Under the SERS system a SERS member could paperlessly "record" their marriage naming themselves as a nominee for a marriage without actually naming their spouse until just before the end of the marriage, which effectively says to the world "yes I am married, but I'm not saying to whom I am married." This gives SERS members the stability of the institution of marriage without the specific commitment of marriage.

SERS members will only be able to be married by official SERS officiants, but that shouldn't be a problem because almost everyone already is or can be a SERS officiant, all you must have the required officiant certification fee. The SERS system also allows unlimited marital swaps without notifying the spouse about the swap ahead of time. A Jacksonville Divorce Attorney and a Jacksonville Family Law Attorney think recording marriages through a SERS system would create the same sort of chaos and crisis in marriages that is did in the housing market.

Obviously, talk of the creation of a SERS system is purely for entertainment purposes but isn't it foolish that such a system exists to "record" and track the ownership of millions of mortgages!
