In property tonight we were learning about estates and fun inheritance rules and stuff like that. For one of the problems, which has been titled the "spendthrift" problem, the professor decides to flesh out the hypo. The problem in the book read something like, "O conveys Blackacre to 'A and his heirs.' B, A's son, is a spendthrift who accumulates massive amounts of debt. Can B or his creditors touch Blackacre to honor B's debt?"
The professor's version goes, "So O conveys Blackacre to 'A and his heirs' and B, A's son, runs up huge amounts a debt living a proflagate life. B is dating Paris Hilton and trying to impress her... God knows why, and so what I want to know is can B use Blackacre to continue the farce?"
The extended question in the book was, "A decides to sell Blackacre and tour the world, does B have any recourse against A?"
The professor's version, "So A decides to look up Nichole Ritchie and join her jet-setting crowd, oh and he calls Brittany Spears too, and is there anything that B can do to stop him?"
I have to appreciate people who can appreciate how ridiculous Paris Hilton and Nichole Ritchie's fame is. Why the heck are they famous? What's worse...even though I don't understand why they are famous, I have a hard time avoiding activities that contribute to that fame such as clicking on the links to articles about them and laughing at jokes about them. It's 2:00am; that probably explains why this is such a "philisophical" post. I think I better quit before the rambling gets any worse.
Good Night and adieu!
