"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

so - what does the Intern say to those families who are single parent because the partner has been killed in the line of duty (police, emergency personnel, armed forces, intelligence agents, etc.)

Fucking parochial wanker.

Well no - she noted she was from a single-mommy home, but thought it was better (right) to be from 2 parent homes. Consider it a disadvantage type mentality. I tend to agree - only I don't care about the gender of the parents and two shitt yparents aren't better than 1 good one.
