Interesting that marriage is no longer really valued by critical masses of Americans.

Many of us can recall a time when it was scandalous if couples lived together outside marriage. Many of us can remember a time when it was scandalous to be pregnant without a husband.

There are huge social problems which have resulted from these new attitudes, such as children not having fathers in the home, and the related “feminization” of poverty we hear about.

Yet if anyone talks about such issues, he will be crucified. Remember the reaction to Dan Quayle bringing up these issues?

Dan Quayle should have been regarded as a prophet. Murphy Brown presented a living arrangement that was feasible for Murphy Brown since the character, a top flight news anchor, could presumably afford a nanny. The lifestyle (single mom) is generally NOT feasible for most other people, and should not be glorified.

Why is it that heterosexuals do not want to get married but homosexuals do want to get married?
