That's fine, if folks want to stake out their bit of the hill and defend it against all comers. Be my guest. I would like to point out though, that your world is about to get more complicated. As western Europe heads towards a marriageless society and same-sex couples in the US and elsewhere successfully argue for inclusion in this "institution" a lot of the "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" discussion will become irrelevant, if it is not already. To paraphrase egregiously: you ought to treat other people well; all else is commentary. And if you find someone who you care about more than you care about yourself, consider yourself lucky as you have been given the greatest gift that life has to offer. Ben Marks
