From the denialism blog (which is Yet Another ScienceBlog [YASB], is focused on methods for recognizing and refuting the methods used by denialists, cranks, quacks, and other types of People Who Want to Mislead and Confuse [PWWMCs], and also worth a read), Myths About Divorce.
And from Halfway There, Let Slip the Sharks of Love, a discussion that's a couple years old but that I still agree with: inasfar as the State believes it's its business to [exist/regulate relationships between consenting adults], it should be purely a matter of contractual law, and involve as many consenting adults as are willing to enter into the contract.
"The true criterion of the practical, therefore, is not whether the latter can keep intact the wrong or foolish; rather is it whether the scheme has vitality enough to leave the stagnant waters of the old, and build, as well as sustain, new life." -- Emma Goldman
