Let me start by saying that I don't agree with this assesment, but it was interesting: I once spoke to an otherwise intelligent fellow about many of the ills in society. At the time, unemployment was high, inflation was rampant, drug use was out of control, teen pregnancy, etc. He stated, emphatically, that is was due to ONE THING. Working Women. When I laughed, he went on to explain. If women didn't work, the number of available jobs would increase. Average household income would drop, and inflation would slow down. House prices that got out of hand because of DINKs (Double Income No Kids)would level off. Stay at home moms would have better control of their kids. Keep them in school, keep them away from drugs, teach them proper sex education. My feelings went from disbelief to begrudgingly "thinking about it". Now, I don't support this other than to say that I am very happy that my wife stays at home with my three kids. It may put us at a disadvantage financially, but it's worth it. I don't make her stay home, it's her choice and we can afford it because we made the adjustments necessary. But what if he's right? Can America get back to the safety and morality of the 1950's? This is not a proposal, but a point of discussion and I'd like to hear from both sides.
