The state ultimately raised them. The power brokers convinced mom that she could have a career and a family and anything else she dreamed of and that she would be doing a disservice to herself as a woman if she didn't put her wants and desires above all else. Couple that with the legalization of no-fault divorce, and you've got a generation of kids meandering through a broken home life with no moral foundation to build on.

So they got absorbed by the public school/daycare system and learned to appreciate its structure (something the had been missing their whole lives). And with that structure, trust was built. And with that trust in hand, the institutions began molding these young minds to believe ridiculous things.

And here we are.

I would read "The God's of the Copybook Headings" by Rudyard Kipling

And then we seriously need to ask ourselves and begin having serious talks about what we do next, individually. No one will save us. No one will save these young adults. So how do we start saving ourselves?

Good point! Couple that with the societal pressure to keep up with the Joneses, and it became almost mandatory for both parents to work. The “American Dream” was unattainable for most one income families.
