Im starting to very seriously think that one should not be able to have kids outside marriage or a marriage-like contract. The problem with rothbards idea of the parent-child relationship is that he fails to subscribe the parent to any kind of responsibility for the existence of the child and therefor sees the child more…

Bernie Sanders has gone from cute, well intentioned fool, to absolute lunatic along with Maxine Waters. At least we know Feinstein and Nanci Pelosi are just dishonest pragmatists.
Saw This Silent Generation Post Somewhere Else
Bothers me because I see them as the “naive and abused generation”. The generation like their parents that were the most and first affected by the Propaganda Generation.
