Parents do have choices but they are to busy in our two income society to care.You said it earlier the main focus is not on food or rent its games and partys and the latest clothes.I still say the fabric on which we were started and our heritage is being ripped out from under our feet.Parents are failing to raise their children and the government cant do it right anyway.The governmnent cant fix these problems only the people.If you look at when this started to be a problem its when we became more wealthy,people dont care as long as they get their fix of goods.They are taking religion out of everything and loosly defineing morals.A specific beleif system is nessasary for this government to work and this is changing so fast its crazy.I beleive this is where it started.
