heh. how is that relevant to the discussion?

Well, this sentence of yours here.

this selfishness that puts the individual above the family

Unless you bring up a family yourself, I think it's a tad hypocritical to put the "selfish" label on others.

I have read some of your posts in the past and noted your views on this type of thing.

There is one aspect of modern living that has changed for the worse though imho. I have no objection to women earning an equal wage, or equal prospects. Trouble is most families now have two wage earners. Initially this was OK because it meant twice the wealth for the family to enjoy. Trouble is demand for better housing just meant house prices doubled. Rents of course follow suit. Now we are in the position where both partners have to work just to afford a "starter home" or just rent an apartment. It's OK if the grand parents and family members are still around to help out looking after kids, but the "nuclear family" has been fragmented in many cases.

In the past the males wage could afford to support the family while the female was the "home maker". To date I have been fortunate to support my family this way. It is not easy though.

Anyway I'm going to completely wipe my PC HD and re install everything a little differently. I'll be off line for a day or two probably. Tell me if I miss anything -g-
