I think so. They are fear mongers. Every cloud is the next storm of the century. Every scandal is the next Watergate. Every disease is the next black plague. Every missing blonde girl is the next Lindbergh baby. |

If you only have the news on at 6:00 and 11:00, you only hear about shit twice a day. If you live in this society, you have the opportunity to hear about it constantly. The information was always there, but the ease of your access changed how often you can ingest it. Moreover, it's changed how others ingest it and your ability to communicate with them about it.

Then why would you need a weapon to defend yourself? Wouldn't everything you stated make you feel safer?

That's a gross oversimplification. The problem is not the single parent family in and of itself but that those who are single parents tend to earn less money. Children from single parent families near the median economic levels or higher have the same level of educational achievement as do children from two parent families.

I have said all along Obama has sold more guns than any president in history. And for no real reason other than the threat of taking the right away. Fact is people don't trust the media, the govt, or their neighbor. That's not Improvment. |

Also, that gun thing is a non-sequitur and completely false. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...n-gun-control/ All of those guns that were purchased in Obama's first term happened despite the fact that he had actually been more gun friendly at that point than GWB through similar points in their administrations. This is your problem. You spout off all of these narratives without any evidence to back them up.

If that were the case then children raised by lesbian parents would have more behavioral issues. They don't. http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/06/07...en.adjustment/

Sure if you are a pessimist you might say "More single moms equals more violent crime." Me, I'm an optimist. I see the glass half full - more available milfs. And you don't even need to slip the kid five bucks to get out of the house for an hour, since he's busy knocking over liquor stores or huffing paint.

it's not hard to get away with things if you're in the forest in the middle of nowhere.
