Happiness and the Right to Choose
“Human beings, being mammals, spend an inordinate—but scarcely disproportionate —amount of time involved in institutions whose task is to make into an orderly and predictable entity the expression and control of sexuality, replacement of the population, succession to rights and offices, and education of the young. ...

But what is not open to argument is that there is a wide variety of ways in which human beings can mate, reproduce, and train the young.”
