First, Buy a Barbie!!

What's the biggest problem facing America today?? If you guessed Obama, I'm sorry, but you are wrong. My choice for biggest problem is the destruction of the family unit caused by exploding rates of illegitimate births.

Why would this be a problem?? For starters, we are inundated with children having children. Mothers who can't take care of themselves are having children that they can't take care of properly. The big problem there is that the children of children are going to repeat the same mistake in a few years. If you are a young girl, born out of wedlock, to a mother who dropped out of school, the odds are stacked against you. You are more than likely going to repeat the same scenario.

When I was in high school, the couple of girls who got pregnant left school. Today, I think they throw them out if they don't get pregnant. Incidentally, I was in high school during the big "Sexual Revolution" of the 1960's and 1970's. I had to read about it in a magazine like everyone else. Either "The Revolution" wasn't happening anywhere near where I was or I didn't know any women who were participating.

Is the government responsible for any of this? Of course, they are partly to blame. How?? Social programs that help all of the single mothers feed and care for the children help to perpetuate the problem. One of the simplest rules of human behavior is "Any actions that are rewarded are reinforced." Yes, that means that if we give people money for having babies, they will have more babies. Can anyone really be surprised at the results??

The rates of illegitimate births are skyrocketing among minorities and immigrants. These numbers are available online, check for yourself. One of the real problems here is long term inbreeding. Stop for just a minute before you fire off that e-mail accusing me of being a racist! If you don't know who your father is, then you don't know who your brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins are. You could be having sex with a half brother or sister and not know it. That will produce some fine offspring.

In my last post I wrote about a young man who has fathered a multitude of children by a number of women. He didn't do it by himself. It required the participation of an equally promiscuous girl or girls. Let's not put all of the blame in his lap. There's probably not any room there anyway.

Young single mothers rarely have support systems. They depend upon the state to furnish many of their needs. They want to be mothers or so they claim, but why?? Are their maternal instincts that strong? Or are they just too lazy to use some kind of birth control? Do they want a baby for the meager financial benefits furnished unwillingly by the taxpayers?? Before they have a real baby, let's start them off with a Barbie. Then they can move up to a live small animal, a goldfish or something easily handled. After showing signs of responsibility, they could be considered for motherhood.

A woman customer told me this evening that she was in favor of involuntary sterilization. We will discuss that on another day. What is certain is that our society cannot survive on this course.
