Just another extension of the selfishness pervasive in our culture.
Amen.
No duty, no responsibility, no commitment.
And they wonder why 85% of the penitentiary population comes from broken homes and single parents...

Just one more step being taken in the continual attack on the traditional family unit.
There's a tension between collectivism and individualism that many modern cultures are getting wrong.
I think humans are wired for personal collectivism (strong family, community and social ties - emphasis on strong). The tension is that economic individualism and freedom have eliminated much of the reason why those strong non-superficial ties existed in the first place.
State or impersonal collectivism doesn't satisfy that human need at all.

Good, let them experiment with different models. If there is a model that can lead to even better, more stable societies and still reduce the likelihood of “staying miserably together ever after,” experimentation is how we as a species will find it.
