I know way too many guys who believe in this. It breaks my heart as someone who wants to get married one day and have kids.
Strong, stable families tend to inculcate the kind of behaviours that preclude the need for an ubiquitous Nanny State; thus, the family is an enemy of the statist thugocracy.
Tell me about it. My daughter is a single mom, an intelligent, beautiful, wonderful girl, who made the mistake of trusting a poster boy for the modern disfunctional male. It was hard enough to absorb the shock of the shattered dreams of fairy tales and princesses, but we thought at least that afterward there would be some good guy come along, with a big heart and the cleverness to see what a good life partner she would make. And we are still waiting. Where are all the decent young men that would have swarmed around her in my generation?
Sometimes I think its just Illinois. Do you thnk it would be any better in Texas? North Dakota? Guam? We do sometimes think of moving for the kids’ sake. But ultimately we are confident God can help us wherever we are. But the waiting is hard.
