SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, JOHN
Via Andrew Sullivan, I see that John Kerry is dissing my marriage of 17 years: "Marriage is an institution between men and women for the purpose of having children and procreating."
I once wrote in a Reason editorial that "Conservative intellectuals, meanwhile, incessantly declare that 'the' purpose of family life is to raise children. Follow this rhetoric and pretty soon the childless are not merely second-class citizens, but fake families and quite possibly less than fully human." I should have included liberal hacks as well.
Could Steve and I get back the thousands of dollars that being married cost us in extra income taxes last year?
