The Real Issue

This is the real issue.

We have failed to see the forest for the trees.

The reason we have lost so many of our young people is that we’ve lost most of our identity.

How? Simple, our cultures were centered around the family unit. The unit consisted of a head (male & female) and a body (female & children). Someone somewhere figured out that to destroy the body you must destroy the head.

To do this a system was devised that actually rewarded (money) to those units that would remain headless. It was called “welfare”. Not only was there a reward for being headless but more for every child that could be bought into the unit.

I am referring to the abbreviated family as a unit to drive home a point in successive issues.

This system needed to be in place for a short time in order for the momentum to carry if for many years. It needed to get engrained into a few generations in order for it to carry itself for many years.

The result is at least four generations of headless units. Four generations of fatherless children, for fatherless mothers. A culture lost. Families in which single mothers are forced to struggle in a system of semi slavery, and no main support.

Meanwhile where are the “heads”; being jailed, drugged, drafted, killed, demeaned and denied.

The “heads” were given no legitimate means of support, jobs, training, or other opportunities needed to provide a family basic need. Of course not everyone, fell into that trap some were fortunate.

What has kept us from being totally lost?

The female with the following abilities to work double duty as mother, father, disciplinarian, guardian, and provider. The discipline that a male figure is much of the basis or glue that directs or structures the unit, the motherly love is what supports and bonds the unit.

One without the other could possibly make the family unit faulty, there needs to be a hint of both. We have seen loosely bonded, misdirected families produce the same children for generations.

The lack of male presence has produced undisciplined male children without a hint of what being a “man” really is and female children whose only use for a man is what they can get out of them.

Real relationships can not be maintained with love and respect for each other because they have not seen it in practice.

Now the bomb the “support” system has been snatched away.

But wait there is nothing to replace it.

What do we do now?
