3. When I hear the meme 'family values' I always ask:
Whose family? The MANSON family?

I ask that too when people say they want to go back
to 'biblical' marriage.
I ask: Whose biblical marriage?
The patriarchs?
Abraham 'gave' his wife Sarah to 2 kings to save his ass from murder.
Jacob's marriage? he had 2 wives and at least 2 concubines.
Lot's wife looked back, turned in salt, and he hid out in a
cave, constantly drunk, sleeping with his daughters..

Oh I could go on, but you get the message.
The problem is, most low-information voters believe
anything the 'authorities' say, and fear questioning anything.
