It's not the best situation, but everybody's business? I don't think so.
The biggest problem in society today is too many busybodies sticking their noses in everyone's business. I can't even smoke a cigar without catching Hell these days.
Illegitimacy damages social stability, both in the upper and lower classes.
You can look the other way only so long.
Pat Moynihan was trying to sound the alarm 40 years ago, and was pilloried, essentially ending public discussion of the negative social consequences of single parenthood. Have things gotten better or worse since then, with everybody agreeing not to mention it?

When I can opt out of the taxes that I pay to support single mothers and their children, I will consider it no longer my business.
While I agree with you on people interfering with your right to enjoy a cigar, our modern society doesn't meddle enough--in the right areas. Everything is backwards. Good is bad and bad is good. Case in point--we've had an epidemic of affairs and subsequent divorces around town. I watch people "turn their heads" so as not to be "judgmental" towards the "new" relationships. I made up my mind that I wasn't going to pretend nothing happened. My family was affected by two of the incidences, and I told all involved exactly what I thought about it.
