"Well, I'm a christian, and I think since it takes one man and one woman to make a child, that it's only natural that it should take them to raise it..."
(off-hand comment from an intern)

I was thinking about Dan Savage quoting literature that monogamy isn't natural, that humans have a long history of other behaviors. Now, I'm all about whatever creative permutations people have on fucking - but to declare that perhaps monog doesn't work because it's not what we evolved to do?

Other things that aren't natural:
Sitting down for more than an hour
Jobs
8 hours doing any one thing
Having plenty of food available to eat
Life spans over 30
leather harnesses with associated O and D rings
The ability to say no to people larger than you are with societal enforcement of your refusal
arch support
parasite free water
showers
razors and associated smooth skin mmm
