America has undergone a continuing "bastard boom" that has had devastating effects on our society.

This guy deserves a medal -- not complaints.

TRUTH: "Even as things stand, we are bribing the unmotivated, the confused, the backward, the lazy into making the worst career decision of their young lives, and becoming professional unmarried mothers, living off the State until the grave takes over. Our welfare system is creating benefits-addicted, fatherless families who will be raised in a culture of personal and economic apathy - and from such warped timber, true masts are seldom hewn."

and from such warped timber, true masts are seldom hewn."

It's a good analogy alright. One of the best I've read in a while! :-)
