LOL @ Osho.

I agree with him. The concept of a family unit, and some of the attached concepts like ownership of and dominance over the children in the family by the adults, is undesirable. The idea that you are kin to some people, and thus not kin to others, is undesirable. This whole idea of responsibility to stay in a relationship through thick and thin is frankly bizarre. The idea of responsibility to stay together "for the children" is a bit absurd. I sometimes wonder what society would look like without this concept of family at the heart of it. I like the idea of communal raising of children. In fact I've met people who put this into practice. I think this could go hand-in-hand with some welcome diversity in models of relationships: ie, a new judgement model in which same-sex relationships, and polyamorous relationships are recognized and accepted as valid.

Any visions of how society would change if this were to happen?
