“The most important domestic challenge facing the U.S. at the close of the twentieth century is the re-creation of fatherhood as avital social role for men. At stake is nothing less than the success of the American experiment. For unless we reverse the trend of fatherlessness, no other set of accomplishments--not economic growth or prison construction or welfare reform or better schools--will succeed in arresting the decline of child well-being and the spread of male violence. To tolerate the trend of fatherlessness is to accept the inevitability of continued social recession.” MenWellsChildrenImportantSchoolSocialGrowthChallengesAcceptingRolesViolenceEconomicCenturyCreationSucceedPrisonMalesSpreadExperimentsReformWell BeingWelfareAccomplishmentTrendsStakesConstructionDeclineTolerateReverseFatherhoodTwentieth CenturyEconomic GrowthRecessionsInevitabilityArrestingWelfare ReformSocial RolesFatherlessness Author:David Blankenhorn

“The most encouraging trend of our time is the widespread loss of faith in government. No longer do people look to the government as the great problem solver, economic planner, social unifier, or cultural czar. The government is more likely to be seen for what it is, a haven for grafters, liars, and would-be tyrants. Americans, like the Russians, no longer believe anything until it is officially denied.” PeopleBelieveLooksProblemGovernmentWould BeSocialLossEconomicHavensOur TimeLiarsTrendsTyrantsDeniedPlannersProblem SolversLoss Of FaithCzarsMost Encouraging Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
