Good post David. Not so sure about the tax break for marriage, but loved the fish as always!

Peter,

Fins ain't what they used to be!

Wonderful words, David. I support what you say 100%.
By the way, is that a real fish tank, or is it, as I'm guessing, some sort of digital computerised gadget? Something tells me it's not "real" (as the tank would have to be embedded into the wall?)

I agree about the importance of family, David; however I'm not sure about one bit. You say that there should be tax breaks for marriage, and then in the next breath say marriage is "taken too lightly". Won't rewards kind of make it be taken even lighter?

I agree with every word you spoke David, well put! I really enjoy your vlogs, and the fish are beautiful.

It would be good if Patty came on an gave a finacial/tax overview on the marriage penalty.

Excellent...! Worth waiting on David. What I agree with most is that family are a defence against the state, and NO you are not being arrogant, nobody raised my kids but me, so I fully agree with you 100%.

Tom,

It's a real fish tank - my pride and joy. Ever since I was a child I loved keeping tropical fish and now I have a special wall tank!

David,

I'm with you all the way! Socialism and the Family are, by definition, bound to be in opposition to each other, and that they control the ground rules does not make it any easier for the Family to survive as an entity.

They have rules, regulations and bribery at their disposal, but Parents are the only source of parental love...

Any chance that you'd put non registered commenting back on? The site isn't anywhere as good with the registered system.

Well done David. We are living in a two nation country. My son is getting married. He and his fiance are both paying off student loans. To buy a house if they could afford it means being clobbered by stamp duty etc. So they are going to rent at £550 a month. Next door there is a 19 year old single mother with two kids. Rent and rates paid off by you and me and a host of other benefits. She can sit at home all day watching daytime TV. Has her annual holiday abroad. Pays no tax, makes no positive contribution to society. By getting pregnant twice she lives like a parasite off the earnings of others. Any wonder the family is being destroyed by government policy.
