gollark: Imagine how many government databases would have to be redesigned to store complex marriage graphs.
gollark: (I don't actually support this, it would be problematic, but I think there are good arguments that parents getting tons of control over raising children is actually problematic)
gollark: Anyway, I have a better solution, give all children to the government to ensure normalized raising without possibly bad parental whatever involved.
gollark: Sure they are. Both are just "government arbitrarily deciding what some people can do with each other".
gollark: I couldn't say, I've never seriously done forest (or otherwise) arson.
