Paternity Leave

It is an interesting idea. The Good Blog talks about Paternity leave coming to a vote in England here.  Can you imagine six months?  It especially interesting in conjunction with this article from the New York Times that talks about more men marrying wealthier women.       

Come on times lets do some changin'.  My wife only received four weeks of maternity leave with our last baby.  It was ridiculous, not even close to enough time.  It would have been exponentially worse if I had to go to work.  We need to step up here in this country and give mothers the proper maternity leave and give fathers the opportunity to stay home and be there for both mom and the baby.

This would be progress. A refocus on families and developing instead of the GDP and Dow Jones Index.
