Bring him here. We can always find reptiles.

Seriously, it’s quite disturbing to see so many people on FR applauding free birth control, as though the government is handing out roach motels, or something.

Before the advent of AFDC, 80% of children born to black mothers had married parents. Now it’s reversed - 80% are illegitimate. Why is this? First, such misbehavior is rewarded - supported - by the goverment. As parents or owners of animals, we all know that if misbehavior is rewarded, what happens? Why, more of the same!

Second, is a culture promoted the most vicious of immorality on all levels, as noted by savagesusie.

My money's on culture, two key elements of which are work, and family structure. At the time of the Harlem Renaissance ----an historic upsurge in African-American creativity in the arts, music, drama, literature, scholarship and civic leadership --- 90% of the black children in Harlem lived in intact- married- mother'n'father households.

And now?

You don't know whether to weep, or to smash something.

We do have reptiles in our woods, but Frank isn’t going to find them - he’s far too loud!
