MARRIAGE AND ADOPTION (AND LIONS): Ms Wells 1980 replies to Maggie
Due to your lack of the nature and social organizaion of lion prides, you missed my point. A "father" is a positive male role model. He does not have to be "married", just determined to spend quality time, economically support, and physically protect our children! (that means ALL the little people)
All men are responsible for ALL children regardless of paternity. Nor does any man/woman "own" another by virtue of vow or contract. How many wars have we fought, quite literally, over a piece of ass? Why? Because "paternity" was at question! He who inherits the wealth, inherits power and control etc.
Even though you advocate a particular form of marriage, marriage in and of itself is a "man made" institution wrought with failings--the idea is perfect, just not the implementation and interpretation of it. Nor is it biologically possible, given birth and death rates of men and women, for every man and woman to be married.
Who marries who is not an issue when compared against who cares, stands up for, and fights for our children. Bottom line, we should eliminate marriage altogether. It is merely a tax break (our governent only recognizes one form of marriage--check the world out). We should establish a social and economic structure that cares for nothing else than educating positive thinking human adults.
