Good stuff right there.

The comments about breaking apart the nuclear family really hit home to me. There is no more powerful mechanism to providing for our children a means to reach higher than us than a household with a unified mother and father working for the best interests of their children.

While even without the benefit of both parents present in the same home a mother and father can be unified in their parenting and can produce stable children and develop them into stable adults it's still far better to have both parents present in the home.

I agree. perhaps the most destructive policies our government ever instituted were the substitution of the State for the father figure of a family. although the intention may be noble, insuring the children have provision the result has been the destruction of the nuclear family across vast swaths of our society, and a collapse of traditional social mores and civil behaviour.

If anything hurt the nuclear family more, it was the fact that couples could no longer live on one income. Women had to go out and work just for families to make ends meet.
