Nope, I already did over on "President Barack Obama' cite about 6 months ago and I got plenty or response, but none of it spoke to the studies main thesis--that married people produce more children "successes" then unmarried people.

That's unfortunate. If these studies did proper methodological controls for income level, urban/suburban/rural location, and geographic location, and were properly modest about the strength of the indicator for the dependent variable--out of wedlock birth rates--they could be quite interesting. If they did not, they may well have been discounted by serious researchers.

At the end of the day it 's probably what we want to believe about it. We've been conditioned, I think, by our backgrounds to look at it in a certain way.

Perhaps that's true in your case. I don't know you. But if you could produce credible evidence to support your views, I would be willing to take a look. Who knows? Evidence always counts.
