As usual, Orson Scott Card is right on the money. But it's even better than usual. This is one of his strongest and best articles in some time.
Whether you believe in Darwinian evolution or traditional Christian morality (and the traditional morality of virtually every other society in world history until our perverted times), then the monogamous family is the only way you can build and pass on civilized values. A society that fails to reproduce itself and bring up its own young to reproduce themselves is bound to fail.

I finally got to read the whole article, and is swept in awe. It's deep, insightful, balanced, straightforward. Absolutely brilliant.
I paged people to OSC without having time to read the article, completely sure that I won't be embarrassed. He exceeded my very high expectations of him. BRAVO.
