VARIETY REVIEW OF "PATERNAL INSTINCT": David Kuner

I found the line about "sincere interest rather than obligation" depressing, though all too familiar. A sense of obligation is a pretty good motivator, a lot better than "interest" which can, after all, change at a moment's notice. Civilization depends on people fulfilling all sorts of obligations, whether or not they are "interested" in doing so. It's possible to find a great deal of happiness in the fulfillment of one's obligations. What, exactly, is wrong with that, and why do people keep trotting out this tired "obligation vs. interest" issue, in one form or another, as an argument for SSM?
