When the basic building block of society is no longer, one can only wonder about society’s future.
Forget about the white dress, flowers and the stress of a guest list—more couples are choosing to live common-law instead of getting married, according to a new Canadian survey…On the downside, common-law couples are four times more likely to break up than married couples, according to the report.

Maybe if Canada stops hacking at the Bush administration they may get some of their issues solved.
Good to see the rent-a-crowds were essentially a bust.
