My Latin is rusty, but Mrs. Waldrop did the best she could.

Actually I would love to --go after this man, ---- BUT, my shy, demure, and unassuming ways stand in the way.
The family unite is no different today then it was 5,000 years ago. Not everyone is lucky or unlucky enough to have an intact family for 40 + years.
Looking at Arlington Cemetery, well over 3/4 of our hero's left behind wives and children
and the kids were raised by stepparents that often did a better job raising them then their biological parent would, or could have done.
I do agree that the Great Society was a blow to the poor both black and white. All came down to some very hard decisions for family's in the 1970's .
This was an eye opener when I moved to a city that had a melting pot of people. I had never lived around so many people that were really poor before.
Ghetto living at that time disturbed me, how it worked back then was sad, when a social worker came into the projects the alarm was put out, the kids would run door to door warning of the workers presence.
Back doors would fly open and the husbands and fathers of the children would fly out to hide. To be caught living with their family that received welfare would mean all state benefits would be dropped for the family.
These men could not get work as the economy was very bad then and the only choice they had was to work under the table for cash.
Along came the welfare Mommas that had a baby every 4 years so they were not required to work, they could have a boyfriend but not the father of their baby's.
Then the laws changed on raising children, one had to be oh so careful of not hurting the feelings of their child, tell a kid they made a stupid decision and soon CPA was at the door forcing the parent to go to classes to learn to Never discipline or stop a child a child from destructive behavior.
Point being, a generation of children that held their parents as hostage to their whims. Now today these children have kids of their own, in jail or in the gangs.
This was the beginning of the collapes from with in the country, Family's needed help and nothing was required from them in return.
