Do you understand the FACT that the government sought to sanction birth control specifically to bring about a radical change in our society?

I'm just curious. No wish to bury you in linkage at the moment but I want to be certain you're clear on the FACT that artificial contraception is something that wouldh ave been forced on the population had they not been "educated" into demanding it as a "right".

Actually I didn't realize this. Links would be appreciated!

What's the problem with that? Women not only have ruined the workplace but they've turned out some spectacularly ill-mannered and uneducated children whose own unbridled sex and disordered breeding is likely due to the fact they've a Television Attention Span and their obsession with Entertainment is exceeded only by their sense of Entitlement and Self-Esteem.

How have you "ruined the workplace"??

Also, some mothers *and* fathers haven't raised their children very well, but others have. I do think moms should stay home to care for their babies and children--it's best for all involved. If taxes were much less burdensome more moms would be able to do that.

I didn't say they should. This may be appropriate at the community or state level (by operation of the principle of Subsidiarity) but I do not believe in the federal Welfare State.

If by "community" you mean one's own family or charity or churches, that would be appropriate. I oppose state level welfare--forced socialism is wrong. Not sure what you mean by "Subsidiarity".

I'm confident that if the State held the Family primarily responsible for carrying the burden of their unwed daughters, the wild-oats of their sons and the well-being of their grandchildren, we'd see a lot fewer single mothers or men with a string of children by different women, none of whom they support ...

How would the State do that, exactly?

Every man who resists the urge to treat himself like a Thing still make all sorts of decisions. Where you've accustomed a population to being manipulated like dairy cattle or domestic animals, you can't exactly pretend they're exercising "Choice" just because the State and their phalanx of behavioral psychologists have served to sweep gate the cattle the one way.

We are forced to follow certain laws the State has decreed. But in America, a representative republic, the State is We the People. Whatever ill has come down through political pipes, the electorate is to blame. We have allowed it by not strongly resisting it from the start and then growing apathetic and cynical.

Our freedom comes from Christ. That's what I'm holding onto these days.
