I hate to say it but maybe they’re getting a good look at what passes for a lot of the males out there and are just deciding to call it quits.

I think it is more like ... too much "life" in front of ALL children ... TV, Radio, Internet, VERY loose social structure, NO safety valves nor nets ...... By the time a kid is 10 .... what's left but sex and drugs and we whom have survived know too well how empty THOSE are as some kind of structure to build on

If there is no religious, spiritual voicing going on in their lives ... they ARE just as good as dead.

The survivors have a ton of issues they deal with constantly and they exist rather than live.

American society pushes kids to "learn' and prepare for the future ... which is no longer just a simple .... follow dad into the mines or mills or farms

I think if I was growing up today ... I'd probably deal drugs

That, or they are being maneuvered into despair by modern Media/MediaRat misanthropy, having been fed lies for years about men, America, love, sexuality, and you name it.

The people attacking our country, our People, and our culture are intelligent, ruthless, and absolutely rotten. Some are just opportunists along for the ride, but others bear much heavier culpability. I'm thinking of people like Betty Friedan and Andrea Dworkin, Catherine McKinnon, and the vast Oort-cloud of A-gay writers, producers, and directors in Hollywood and New York. Not forgetting the money men and bankers who cheapen human existence for gain, or the New Age atheists who attack morality and its Author for ideological reasons.
