Marriage is society's most conservative institution. In a world demanding change, fathers are busy worrying about doing their share of the housework.
    The important thing about fathers is, once a guy gets a job, a corporate boss, a wife, a mother-in-law, kids, a house, and a mortgage, that passionate, compassionate liberal becomes a conservative who likes to believe he's still a liberal.
  Instead of expansively focusing on changing the world to be more inclusive and democratic, he spends his time making enough money to make life more difficult for folks who don't have enough money.
