We had gone to sleep really late Friday evening (because we were talking and watching stuff on YouTube) so late in fact, that it was early Saturday morning. So we got up Saturday noon, showered, and made pizza.
Then we went back to bed and just hung out talking and surfing the web and showing each other stuff we found.
For dinner we had the rest of the pizza and a discussion based on an article I had read in the NewYorkTimes that described a possible compromise on gay-marriage for the U.S. Read it here.
And basically the question we asked ourselves was "how important to society is marriage?" And from there we moved on towards "who should be allowed to adopt children? only couples? only heterosexual couples? why not individuals? after all couples and individuals in all kinds of constellations and degrees of complication have children the natural way." In Germany people are not having enough children. So we moved on to "should the government hand out incentives for having children?" and I had this dystopian vision of a society where the government will give you a toaster for getting pregnant. And "how do you get academics to have more children without it seeming unfair?"
And now we're back to surfing the web and getting ready to go to sleep.
Conclusion: a very lazy, comfortable, bonding, companionable, interesting day.
