Does the preference for the nuclear family too also mean no mixed racial breeding? And what about religious preferences? I'd like to hear your side on this.
The traditional family institution is disappearing. I'm actually in support of this for more modern alternatives that give people more freedom to do what they want. I would think that should be something you would support given your views.

I'm not against the concept of change. I just think that we have a hair trigger for change in this day and age and change for the sake of change does not always end up benefiting society. Sorry I dont understand what you're asking about mixed race marriages. I didn't think the concept of nuclear family is race specific.
In general, I think of nuclear family and liberty as the strongest protection against tyranny from our rulers. Some socialist, dictatorship style governments (eg. communism) seek to destroy the traditional family. This is no accident, as an atomized, divided society is more easily controlled from above. I believe that the west is being socially engineered in this direction.
Family, health and liberty are my top 3 most important values. I see the family institution changing, but I have yet to see how it is better than what we had or how it promotes more freedom.
