   Can we start with his bloated carcass for the inaugural sacrifice?
   I read an interesting article yesterday, about how Plato wanted to end parenting as we know it, and make all adults of a community responsible for raising children, and Aristotle’s struggle to thwart Plato’s efforts.
   It was American Thinker, I’m thinking, and will try and find it, but have to run out…again…for a little while.

   Here it is, and was a little painful for me to read.
   Natural Law and Child Abuse.

   family patterns have changed dramatically in recent decades as cohabitation and single-parenthood become common. Thirty years ago, nearly 80 percent of America’s children lived with both parents. Now, only two-thirds of them do. Of all families with children, nearly 29 percent are now one-parent families, up from 17 percent in 1977. The net result is a sharp increase in households with a potential for instability, and the likelihood that adults and children will reside in them who have no biological tie to each other.”

   The lack of fathers appears to be a huge problem as seen from the point of view of the schools and, indeed, there is also a lack of mothers due to women abandoning their children for drugs, other men, or a variety of reasons. Grandmothers and great grandmothers are raising children, as are aunties and random people in the neighborhood that have (unofficially) stepped in when the biological or court-designated responsible people are not performing their duties.

   In my ex-DIL’s neighborhood, a 6-year-old girl lives with her grandmother. She used to live with her father (her mother lost custody of her children by multiple fathers due to drug abuse) until a DNA test showed that he was not her father. The state took her out of the only home she had ever known and refused to let the now non-father continue to raise her. She was placed with a grandparent (mother of the drug abuser) who gets paid to keep her, but who also gets paid to keep 4 other grandchildren, and cares more about the money than the kids who are turned outside to run the neighborhood during nonschool hours. . The former “father” who does care about the welfare of the child gets to see the child every 2 weeks in a supervised visit.
