I would like to pontificate today on the subject of the dissolution of family values. The traditional family has been an important part of civilizations through history. Family advocates claim it promotes stability, and I have a hypothesis about why.
Like it or not, we are a polyamorous society. During the last presidential campaign, Mitt Romney was ridiculed and called a polygamist because an ancestor had multiple wives back when it was still legal. All the while, Julia and her girlfriends were demanding that, through higher tax rates, Romney give them more money for food, shelter, and childcare. None of them wanted to actually marry the stiff suit. They wanted him to provide for them while they ran around with this and that hot, tattooed, and unemployed drugster.
Greg Gutfeld says unclassical liberals have the same disconnect as little children: They dissociate the candy from the cost. Julia wanted the old stiff suit to pay for her flings with dashing and exciting slouches. In marriage, there was something called gratitude, where he who provided could hope for more than a slap in the face.
At least gay people get this. But sadly, one of the loudest arguments for gay marriage is the hope that the stiff suits will be able to pick up the bill for insurance and other perks.
