The loss of community and strong families is what got us here to begin with.

Yes and it happened quite suddenly. When I went to school in the late 1970s and 1980s everyone came from families with two married parents. I remember only one girl at school who came from what they called back then, 'a broken home'. Her mother later remarried so she had a baby brother with a different last name. At the time that was just weird. But then by the mid 1990s the elementary schools were full of kids from single parent families.
