"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

I look forward to hearing from that intern after he/she has a baby. You know, all the stories about how they aren't accepting help from their parents, from friends, from daycare, from teachers, from doctors, heck even allowing that kid to see other children would provide socialization -- an important part of raising a child. Good luck to them!

She is 20, that special age when you haven't paid rent yet and your opinions are all quite strong.
