A lot of what I see on TV and witness when out in public is the result of parents not doing their job. IMO there are way too many people having kids that should have no business having kids. They just aren't capable of raising them to be productive contributors to society.

Great point and much respect to your parents, Scott. They are/were not alone in their battle against evil.
Parents -
and OTHER adults...are charged with this responsibility.
MANY are HARD workers and doing a great job! And we thank them!
Doing ALL they can do, in fact!
God bless them!
But as I commented upstream.....too many adults have become lazy and too self-centered to really put their children's well being as JOB #1.
Important point here - parents can NOT do it all. Other ADULTS influence our kids.
