Data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau shows married couples have found themselves in a new position: They're no longer the majority.

Three mornings a week, when Becky Leung gets ready for work, her boyfriend is just getting home from his overnight job. When her mother drops hints about her twin sister's marriage, she laughs it off. And when she thinks about getting married herself, she worries first about her career.

Leung, 27, cohabits in a Portland, Ore., townhome with her boyfriend but has no plans yet to wed, a reflection of the broader cultural shift in the U.S. away from the traditional definition of what it means to be a household.........................>>>>...............>>>>................Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2011/05/28/national/a120003D10.DTL#ixzz1Nk1FiXEa

This is just another symptom of the ongoing, multifaceted attempt to erase American culture...of which the traditional family structure is a
bedrock...the intentional breakdown of morality in general...defining deviancy downward until it all seems "normal"....

Pornography is conveniently classified as "free speech"....even for young children now allowed to indulge at public libraries....

Homosexuality is "normal"....gay "marriage" is a "right"...."equality"....

Disciplinary measures with children is now "abuse"....or a "crime".....

All of which, among other things, is being promoted through every venue controlled by the establishment that really runs this country....the public
schools....major media outlets....all for the purpose of perpetuating and advancing this mindset...a complete abomination of our founding ideals.

Soon, there won't be enough people left who are capable of understanding this, or even caring enough to reverse these trends....while their last
hope left, the power of Congress, is also being diluted as we speak.
