12. Research: Parents Should Receive Incentives o "I'm wondering why we need a license to get married, but we don't need a license to have kids— especially considering the fact that a bad marriage is easily undone and does no irreparable harm, whereas bad parenting can create a legacy of misery that affects large numbers of innocents and often gets passed on from progeny to progeny.” o This quote explains: -parenting needs to be taken more seriously than marriage -bad parenting is more serious than marriage because it affects the lives of more people
