On this point, I disagree-definitely not
only the fault of a "boy". Women have 100% control of the births in this country. If they want a child, it will happen. If they don't want a child, it won't happen. End of story.
I do not blame any of the young men today for sitting out that game. I don't condone it, but I understand it. The odds are stacked against them in every part of their lives now-all oyster, no pearl.
I did the same, though military, and the trouble was always handled "in house" if you know what I mean. I would have lived in a cardboard box rather than move back home once my enlistment was up, and I was certainly not ever going to move back to The People's Republic of Ohio
. I do go back every once in a while to see my lifelong friends, and I am always sure to bring my passport so I can get back out of there. I tried to rescue them, but they all have Stockholm Syndrome and refuse to leave, even though elsewhere we have electricity and oceans and mountains and mild winters and good coffee and entire days that the wind doesn't even blow. What can you do?
