The slow decline began when women were allowed to vote.
Then, decades later, darkies were allowed to vote.
Soon, a fetus will be allowed to vote.
Real democracy!

Listen to all the thrash metal you want to,Tony. It makes no difference. Some of the best people I know did the same in their youth and still occasionally enjoy it today.
Single parent households becoming more common and an increase in fathers who are absent from their children’s lives aren’t the product of improvement in our society. Many of the problems we see in our society today can be traced back to a lack of parental guidance.
That’s not to say children raised in those situations are always doomed, but the odds of an unfavorable outcome increase substantially.

When you grow up watching your father work it instills something in your brain that makes you feel that you have to go to work and be responsible for your children. That is not what is happening today. Too many depend on the government to take care of their children.

And many of the single parents who depend on government assistance may have no other options to turn to. Single salaries don't cut it in today's world. Back in the day things were quite different. Divorce had a stigma attached to it and many remained in situations they shouldn't have because of the kids. Today not so much. Primary problem is people getting married for the wrong reasons, then having children they shouldn't have.

Actually, they have children they shouldn't have and then get married for the wrong reasons. 40% of births are to unmarried women, it was 18% back in 1980. Traditional marriages are declining, more people cohabit outside the traditional marriage than in the past.

Hey, I have an idea how to stop unwanted pregnancies outside marriage (or, heaven forbid, someone who takes government assistance!).
Abor.....nevermind.
