Not sure what you're on about, Art, but the traditional "family" is gone, people live in various configurations, temporary and permanent, and often without a thought of a child in the mix (ladies love their canines to satiate their maternal instinct these days).  And adults do what they want, re careers, jobs, etc.  No-one cares about the macro society, the adults just wanna do what we wanna do, and these days we can!  So we're all smiling!
