This, people claim, is symptomatic of a phenomenon spreading across Britain called &#8220;Broken Britain.&#8221; From the Associated Press report, I quote: Sir Bernard Ingham, once press [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&amp;blog=262552&amp;post=814&amp;subd=ergosum&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Having said that, I also hold the view that monogamy is a more prudent setup--and that we consciously come to recognize it as such usually only much later in our lives--for reasons that have nothing to do with a person's character but because of the natural context that evolves around us.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&amp;blog=262552&amp;post=794&amp;subd=ergosum&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
