"People need to understand the direct correlation between the liberal welfare state and exactly the sort of social pathologies TD describes here."
The "liberal welfare state" is only a symptom and enabler of a much deeper problem - that being "original sin".
Ah, yes! The rub comes about, however, when we humans stop trying to right our course once "original sin" in any of its many dialects overcomes us, and simply revel in it.
God help us!!
