She claims "fatherlessness" is the problem, yet provided no data to back up the claim. Lots of empty rhetorics that are not supported by empirical evidence.

You don't think there is empirical evidence of a fatherless home's connection to name-your-bad-thing?

You know, if memory serves there is enough research on the subject to fill a library.

I do think that it is better to have two parents in the family, then just to be a single parent family.
Don’t have data for that, but it just seems common sense to me.
Of course, there will always be exceptions, like if the father is a drug user or alcohol user or something like that. But in normal cases, two parents are better than one.

So what's the solution? Take kids away from single parents? Force parents to stay together against their will? Outlaw selfishness?
The article seems a little short on practical suggestions.

More like encourage desirable values, the things you hear about when you go to church
You can find real communities there built on something other than hate Trump
And does anyone really think there is no data to support saying fatherless homes are undesirable?
What did I miss? Has cnn been pushing fatherless homes lately? Is this part of the narrative now?

The problem with church is that it's on Sunday morning. Typically, my kids are too busy trying to sober me up to attend.

Nothing ruins a well-presented sermon like a drunken heckler.
Or so I've heard.

A friend of mine told me that the problem with church was that Christianity ends in the parking lot. LOL

I think that is too pessimist.
Probably for a long long time, the older generations think the younger generations are on a path where things will get worse. The younger generations seem to figure it out.

Laughter's the best medicine, at least up until the point when the liquor stores open.

Got a quote for you, Phibbs. I redd a brief biog of Franklin Pierce which included what is apparently his best-known quote: “All that’s left, is to drink and die.”

Social ideas. What you think and what you say.
The culture of black males has been reinforced time and again by white america. It's a culture of tough, violent men. So think twice.
