The Breeding Contract

As a male who spent their life in the U.S., I avoided marriage beyond the point that it was particularly relevant. The reason of course is obvious. For the last 50 years, marriage has been an insane proposition for men and still is in most states. Let me see if I have this correct. "Marry me and if for any reason whatsoever I don't feel like you are servile enough or I find a guy with more money, I will take your kids and half of your paychecks for the next 20 years". Because of this insanity, the institution itself has been destroyed. But then, from the moment they instituted no-fault divorce, it was essentially over. As a result, we have entire generations of men and women who are very much worse off and horribly unhappy because of our family court bias against men. With this in mind, allow me to hypothesize on the future of marriage.
Anyone desiring to have kids need to find a partner willing to sign on to a Breeding Contract (BC). In this BC, it would be clearly stated that in no way did this contract constitute marriage by any definition of law and that it is plain and simple a business contract. The reason this first criteria is essential is that current law has destroyed marriage and the only thing sacred in America or the world for that matter is a business contract. There can be no wiggle room for a  judge to declare this contract constitutes a marriage so it is essential that it be incontrovertibly declared in the contract that it is expressly denied to be a marriage.
In this BC, every single detail normally hashed out in a divorce can be clearly defined. Even more, different  conditions can be struck as to the last names of male and female offspring. Restrictions on sexual, religious, and educational doctrine can be defined. The ages where decisions can be made by the children can be predetermined, the calculation of living arrangements and formulas for cost sharing can all be predetermined before the decision to have a child is made.
More importantly, incentives and disincentives for either staying together or separating during periods of discontent can be predefined so that each person knows before hand the level of commitment of the other party.
It is long past the point that society as a whole needs to grow up about both the current reality of the state of marriage and of the advantages of defining what the terms of a BC are before engaging in reproduction rather than afterwards.

The Catholic Church

  As all can see, all organizations become single-minded in time. In the past, nearly every straight person got married and had kids. In that the church had a celibacy clause, it offered an easy, sheltered life with status, wealth, and comfort. It was a natural haven for people disinclined to the opposite sex or inclined to children. They then actively selected like minded individuals, just as we see in journalism and academia. So it is almost a given that the church is a gay organization that does in fact recruit straight people for the trenches to insulate their leaders and camouflage the organization to prevent its exposure. Of course, this may just be speculation, but it is not specious. Just the other day I was talking to a lesbian coworker who declared, unabashedly, that her community actively denies straights inclusion into the inner circle or club as it were, because of their perception that there are enough straights who are intolerant of their lifestyle such that elimination

$27 trillion questions

 In that our country's financial underpinnings are a runaway train, it needs to be asked, "What exactly is meant by the term 'national debt' and why must interest, determined by the private Federal Reserve (FR), be paid on it?" And the most important question is "where do those interest payments go?" The FR was created in 1913 whereby the ordinary functions of the Treasury were given to private bankers. They invented the concept that they would be, not only the controllers, but the source of our nation's finances. The way it works is, if the government spends more than it takes in, the FR would 'loan' the govt money by printing it into existence and thereafter, the govt would be required to pay 'interest' on the 'loan' ad infinitum and that interest rate would be set by the FR. The explanation for this arrangement was that the FR was needed to regulate the availability of money to spur or retard the rate of growth to control i

Nearly as Simple as the Sun

An ideal reactor can be all but authenticated using computer simulation, probably within a day. Our engineering and computing capabilities are clearly sufficient. And all it would take to prove it is the decision to challenge the assertion. So why does this assertion matter to you? Because Germany pays upwards of 25 cents a Kw-hr for electricity when it could be produced for one-tenth that. But if no one in the working class can be bothered to agitate on this issue, then perhaps, the peasants really don't need air conditioning. The sad thing about astronomical electricity costs is that it always hurts the people who are just barely scraping by, the most. The truth about nuclear energy is that an ideal reactor can be built that is nearly as simple as nature's perfect reactor, the Sun. And the fact that the Sun exists negates the attitude that anyone can discount, out of hand, the claim that a man-made reactor can be nearly as simple. The existence of the Sun means that anyone wh
