Mormons love them some sci-fi. Mitt loves it so much he lets it crowd out reality. Many of you know about this Romney-ism:
“It seems that Europe leads Americans in this way of thinking,” Romney told the crowd of more than 5,000. “In France, for instance, I’m told that marriage is now frequently contracted in seven-year terms where either party may move on when their term is up. How shallow and how different from the Europe of the past.”
Time magazine is reporting that the whole seven-year-contract with option to renew is, in fact, a plot point in a novel by fellow Mormon Orson Scott Card. The seven-year marriage contract is from a book called “The Memory of Earth,” and it is a fictionalization of the Book of Mormon set in outer space.
