Don't swallow too quickly what you have read about more traditional cultures, today or in the past. Do we have any statistics on the poor man's divorce from centuries past? Are you so sure that the kids in 18th century England were any more "functional" than those today? What about 20th century Saudi Arabia? >At least from the viewpoint of demographics sustainability and >counterpressure to gerontocracy and resulting innovatiophobia we're doing >something wrong.
