Book Description
Excerpt from Let's Civilize the Marriage Laws A supine and servile submission to arro gated authority, and a senseless adherence to precept and precedent have served to check initiative, to hamper ambition, to suppress emo tions, to throttle budding genius, and to kill aborning the highest hopes of the human heart. Until within the last few golden decades, man has been required to measure his conduct, to control his desires, to stifle his impulses, in accordance with the arbitrary notions and theo ries and customs of his ancestors. And, this ancestral worship which he has unconsciously practiced - this dependence upon dead men and dead philosophies - has held him out of his rightful estate, and retarded the progress of the world a thousand years.
