How old are you, Howie?  Just curious.  I get the feeling that you're not as
old as you try to sound most of the time.

Kids with kids IS a national tragedy, whether here or there, or anywhere else.
First, because kids don't have the resources to support a family in most cases;
second, because they don't have the experience to get a job that earns enough
to provide for a family; third, they usually aren't mature enough to forego
their own gratification to do what is necessary for the family first.

It has nothing to do with societal institutions.  It has to do with biology and
physiology.  As you get older, you slow down, and you become physically less
able to bounce back when you get hurt.  As a result, you learn not to do things
that put you in harm's way.  In OUR society, the threats are not so much
physical anymore, but still put you in harm's way.  Also, a basic rule of our
biological makeup is that the female gravitates toward the mature male who can
provide sufficient food and shelter for her and their offspring.  You see the
rule at work in every herd of horses, pride of lions, human groups, etc.

That we have many people who never really grow up and continue to espouse the
liberalism of the inexperienced, and idealistic younger members of the human
race speaks more to the amount of free time we have to indulge ourselves than
it does to changes in our basic makeup.
