I see no solution to the fatherless problem in the US or elsewhere in the world. When you had to have a dam good reason to get a divorce the family unit, although never perfect, was a model for children to grow up in. Now that the US lawyers have railroaded easy divorce for no reasons whatever so they could get rid of their wives and marry someone 20 years younger, the effect on children is terrible. Now we have more self identifying homosexual and bi-sexual and transgender kids, more promiscuilty, more drug use, more "cutters". I only knew of two older guys who were into drugs in the early 1960"s and both of them had a bad end, and I never knew anyone who was homosexual. I do not know of any way to bring about a solution to the problem of fatherless homes in the USA. The entire US culture has been in a state of decline beginning with the assassination of President Kennedy, followed by the Vietnam War which Kennedy would never have started had he lived. Then the birth control pill which facilitated sexual promiscuity and allowing married people to have affairs. This was followed by easy divorce to further destroy the American family. Then the removal of glass food containers and tin lined cans being replaced by plastics which have caused a whole generation of boy babies to be adversely affected orientation wise. The USA for all practical purposes is no longer a world power. It is in an unstoppable state of decay. It is a country bent on destroying itself. Any student of the Holy Bible who has any knowledge of the scriptures will tell you that there is no mention of a kingdom such as the USA written about in the old testament or new testament. This points to the strong possibility that the USA is no longer a country and is probably destroyed by its enemies of which there are plenty. If the US is not destroyed by a first strike by Russia then it may be destroyed by an accidental war. The US could not even handle the damage from a single hurricane. How can it hope to handle the destruction of 50 of its largest cities? Those who are survivors will act exactly like the government officials in New Orleans did after the hurricane. The cops were looting and driving around in luxury automobiles because there was no one to stop them. The cops and firemen who worked on the world trade center cleanup were also helping themselves to luxury goods. When a disaster strikes the worst that is in man begins to show itself.
