I work on marriage annulment cases and read people’s life stories in their petitions for annulment. Lack of firm, yet loving, direction from a good father ruins lives. It ruins the young man, who grows up without the example of good manhood. In the accounts I have read, the young man ends up with no good purpose. Life is all about women, money and personal satisfaction. There is no strength of character for doing the self-sacrificing love that marriage and family life require. This creates sorrow in the lives of wives and children.

Fathers matter so much. People have to look at the real world results, not just their theories intended to make single mothers feel better.

In the Army I was in a high security group. Most of us were college educated Caucasians. My buddy was a black kid from Detroit. I asked him one day how he managed to get there. He said simple: when I was a lad and I began doing my sidewalk act in front of our apartment, my dad would come out, grab me by the ear and take me inside. The point is it is more than just role model, it is a father (male) who applies direction. I know in my case, I followed in my dad's footsteps. However, on a few occasions he would say I suggest you not do that. Funny how his direction was always right. If it had been my mom, I am sure I would not have listened. His advice kept me out of trouble. Interestingly, the older I got the smarter he got.

Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, there is no God...
The elite that allow this rubbish for curriculum need to go work in the fields.
