Interesting article about the support for marriage being a way of attacking poor people, interracial couples, and other couples who aren't liked by the people in power.

Well as one who has never married and only briefly co-habited ; it has always seemed to me that society; particularly governments, large companies and wealthy individuals, benefit hugely from the apparent willingness of couples to spend huge amounts of money, time, energy in the raising of the next generation; the economic benefits of which, seem hard to justify in terms of 'rational self-interest.'; regards Rohan McLeod
