NYT AND CIVILIZATIONS

 SOME OF THE STUFF I HAVE SUGGESTED HERE IS NOT SO FAR FETCHED IN A PLACE LIKE THIS

They don't really know, to tell the truth, what civilizations are for.... paraphrasing Kennan, 'FLASHBACKS'

RE IS POLYGAMY NEXT

This is just one direction in which one could already see things have been going. 

Why not, for instance, marital bestiality? After all animal rights is still gathering force.  Can't one leave everything to one's pet, under certain circumstances? If not, why not? 

Answer, only some states allow pets as beneficiaries; sounds like another issue for the Supreme Court.

(Extra credit: Does it matter, then, in which state the pet is 

' domiciled ', or even whether the issue of domicile has been raised by an ' ostensible pet domiciliary state '?)

Triads, quadrads, etc.?

Americans, in particular, have poor, complex, and conflicting, social regulatory controls.

Fn : DK excerpt, on his father, Bloom, and Western civilization, The Life of Harold Bloom (but he goes on to talk about Paglia. See also my comment there.):

"...Both Harold Bloom and Philip Kaiser made their careers within important parts of western civilization, whose arc, we can now see, was reaching a climax when they were young men.  Its appeal won them both over and they never looked back. Now academia in particular is obsessed with the supposed flaws of western civilization, and is filled with scholars who believe that their role is to show how it has oppressed their gender or race...."
