"...there's a genuine cause for concern when people cite widespread singleness as an excuse to promote policies that denigrate traditional families."

Sorry Chuck. Legislation isn't saving, and can't save, the traditional American family. I'm annoyed at being treated like a second-class citizen because I'm single - by Christians and by law and taxes. I work my fair share and more. I could use a few tax breaks taking care of my 'eldering' mother. Laws aren't going to preserve Christianity as it was. It's a post-Christian, nearly post-American society. It's scary, but true.

The only way to get back those traditions and institutions and the respect that once existed for them is for deep change in the HEART, a grassroots longing for those things that gets people looking for them, longing for them, and fighting to preserve them again.

The Supreme Court has almost dictatorial power in this country, and it's out of control. Nothing, seemingly, can stop the descent of this country into anarchy and totolitarianism or some form of socialism/communism.

But the fact that there are millions of single people is just that - a fact - and punishing us for it via taxes and other cultural ostracism isn't going to turn your lost world around.

I'm a single Christian by the way. There, I've said my 2 cents worth.

It would help if bureaucrats at all levels of government would get the h3ll out of the way of religion, as the Constitution demands, and not freak out every time someone mentions the name "Jesus" or openly wears a cross in the classroom.
