  • Re: Feminism ended Marriage/Family

    I came to this very interesting post thread a few days late, by way of Blue Skies by way of another Responder to both Blue Skies and MichaelBernard1 on the Iraq War exegesis as to ''how we got here.'' While I sympathize with this female academician and her illustrations greatly, based on her point of view, I have to either disagree or comment ...

  • marriage does not guarantee success

    I take issue with the idea that ''out-of-wedlock births are a national catastrophe''. I believe the national catastrophe is a lack of accountability. I think that single parents raising childred without the support of the absent parent should be looked at as ''deadbeat parents are a national catastrophe''. The parents remaining with the ...

  • This burns me up!

  • Re: well-written statement on an unpopular position

    bravo!! I believe you have hit the nail directly on the head; it takes more than 1 person to raise a child. That does not however mean that it has to be a married couple. It can be 2 friends, multiple family members, lovers of varying gender identities...it takes more than 1 and there is no reason to think that only a married couple qualify. Out ...
