I'd express it somewhat differently in parts, but I think you got that about right. George Gilder's 1992 book Men and Marriage laid out the case exceedingly well, and I see Amazon has it in the used category for seven cents (!) So I really recommend that you get it and be bowled over by the insights.

The main thing about the sexual revolution is, it ruins things for kids. In a hundred different ways. If people really cared for children they would have said no to the Sexual Revolution; and people who want to see their civilization survive for another generation inevitably see themselves becoming more and more sexually conservative (it used to be called "decent, moral, sane, healthy, honorable") --- moreso and moreso, the more you see and experience in life and the more you think about it.

It's sad, but most people do not think that far. Culture depends far to much on fear of natural consequence than people's rational though and compassion. I'm concerned about what we can do to change it back. Identifying the cause is one thing, but fixing it is a whole other step. One thing that comes to mind is using environmental laws to stop use of the birth control pill. Since there have already been reports of those hormones found in groundwater, it wouldn't be much of a stretch. Do you think the EPA could be the solution to our family problem? What a crazy twist that would be!

the more you see and experience in life and the more you think about it.

Heh, I'm still not 30 yet so I've done more thinking than I should be allowed at my age :-).
