Thursday afternoon update #2

- Read this and tell me if you honestly think that state-run baby farms (day care) is still a good idea.

- Along the same lines, this article provides some food for thought:

It’s said that ideas have consequences. Well, bad ideas have bad consequences. And this is as true when the bad ideas pertain to “personal choices” and “private behavior” as anywhere else.

When America catches a cold, goes the old saw, black America gets pneumonia. That certainly applies to the virus of the Sexual Revolution. As the numbers on page 24 indicate, blacks bought into the casual sex crusade with even fewer reservations than whites. From adultery, to teenage experience, to premarital sexuality, to homosexual relations, to the number of lifetime partners, black Americans are roughly twice as likely as whites to wander from traditional sexual norms. And this has hurt them badly.

Today, only 39 percent of black children are growing up in two-parent families. One hundred years ago, despite economic and political privation, twice as many black families were intact. Those are the wages of sexual liberation. The secondary effects include a welfare explosion, crime, wrecked cities and public schools, violence and abuse, and endless human misery. Most of the victims are innocent third parties who don’t see the fun in a casual approach to sexuality.

Remember this the next time you hear arguments about the privacy of sexual choices.
