What is the culture's biggest problem? Not financial. Not military. Our biggest problem is the disintegration of the family, particularly the abnegation of parental leadership and responsibility. The one social structure commented on in the New Testament over and over again is divorce and this country, a professed christian nation, has a divorce rate over 50%. I once asked a basketball coach who coached a private grade school team and an inner city team what the difference between the two jobs was. He said in the private school he put the kids on the floor and watched them for quickness, vision, enthusiasm and coachability. With the inner city team he started each practice by asking who had eaten that day and first took the rest to lunch.
This is clearly a serious problem. The New Orleans disaster shows there are simply a lot of people out there who need help managing their lives. Should they be having children in this difficult life of theirs as well?
Too tough? Yet we are able to ask very hard questions of the elderly now; those end of life equations are serious, regardless of how they are diminished. Why not pair bonding and reproduction questions? Clearly a lot of people need help and we have a sacred private sector model: Harmony.com. Imagine how we could increase the information available with the government's huge reach. Why not a National Mating Service?
