I say do what you want, you're gonna die anyway..Adolf had two parents, so did Stalin......We see how that panned out..Never heard of it, in fact in the 1980's when I was a single parent I was told by old women that men can't be single parents...Yeah you sound just like those old farts from 35 years ago..According to liberals, and Hollywood, everyday.
ANd that's step one.
If we can't do that, we can't do ANYTHING about a large portion of our problems.
The numbers show that growing up with both biological parents is the best model.
We need policy to encourage that model. If we do that, we will see all the negative effects from smoking, I mean Illegitimacy, start to decline proportionally.
Not everyone who dies of lung cancer smoked. Does that mean that smoking is good for you?
Sure. Later is better than sooner of course.
Our choices have effects. THat's that analogy.
We can ignore the science and smoke, hoping that we will just luck out and not die years early of cancer.
We can also ignore the documented numbers on illegitimacy, because it might hurt some people's feelings and just cope with the results.
Do you smoke? I don't.
