.... and divorce then - but life expectancy was lower, so there were lots of orphans and half-orphans. We're more spread out now, but our travel time is not any greater. What I learned leads me to wonder: Why can't we do the same? Were Americans then a different people than we are today? Have we become so corrupted that we don't care about others? Have we become so lazy that we are unwilling to suffer with? I think not. I hope not. But we have become used to having someone else do it for us - even though we know that a professional social worker, with a case load of 200 or s .....

.... logic and thoughtfulness in their minds as well as in their hearts, they would not be making these ridiculous comments. Arguments of this type are the cause of crime and poverty in our country. People don't know the difference between right and wrong. Children need a mother and a father to teach family values and the difference between right and wrong. The world would be a much better place if everyone had a parent or a teacher to show the them the proper path. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If more of society would put a priority on their children and their future, there .....

.... to make decisions based on the information we are given, but how can we possibly make a rational decision when much of the information is left out?
