Failing, or changing (#47300)

I just want to point out a fallacy in Hurd's argument against marriage: a 50% divorce rate doesn't mean that marriage as an institution is failing, unless by marriage he means marriage-for-life, which never worked all that well anyway. Yes, there's a lot of irrationality around marriage, but there'd be a lot of irrationality around almost any marriage-surrogate for the foreseeable future, too.
