Politics Cash For Clunkers Revisited

I think that's a red herring.

This is short-sighted, impractical, and somewhat ignorant.

What about loveless marriages resulting from accidental pregnancies? (What about the failure of abstinence-only programs? What about anti-abortion policies?)
What about gay and lesbian parents? (What about anti-gay policies?)
What about freedom? (You can't force both parents to give a shit about their children, or their spouse, or their baby's parent.)

The traditional family structure is no longer the norm. Part of this is due to the failures and deterioration of religious and patriarchal institutions within a modern context.

The traditional family as the cookie cutter mould for all families to ensure a better society is both mythological and impractical. (History reveals this.)

No one denies that children are better off being raised by loving couples, but much of what conservatives value is as much an impediment to this as it is helpful, if any semblance of balance can be found.

Single mothers and gay couples are guilty of child abuse? Yeah, that's helpful.

This is why public transportation needs to be improved.
