This is interesting and I shall ponder it. Thanks.
I was recently at a talk by Judith Halberstam wherein she talked about "March of the Penguins" in terms of what all the non-reproductive penguins are doing. The Christian Right has touted the movie as a dramatization of heroic monogamy and nuclear families, but without all those other penguins to help keep off the cold the penguins who happen to be reproducing wouldn't make it.
Which was a long way to illustrate the trite "it takes a villiage," but dude - it totally does.
