  1.  @haydenmalesky2518  You're not old enough to remember after WW2, when the United States became the first, self-declared nuclear super-power on earth. That was the birth of the nuclear family, more about the spoils of war, mostly for veterans. A house, a car, maybe in a garage, a wife wearing a dress, high heels and a pearl necklace, with a hair-do, cooking in the kitchen. "The Life of Reilly" was a big TV show, a veteran laying in his back yard hammock while he directed life around him. What you're talking about, the decline of family life in America, is about drugs. The code word is mental health. I hope you have some ancestry, and they didn't go through the Dark Ages. That's a literal thing for me. You also forgot grandparents. That's the job of grandchildren, taking care of their grandparents. If you had some you'd mention it.

  2. "Nuclear family"? That's an old joke, American super-power talk. If the predictions for nuclear families came true, all Americans would own a car that flies by the year 2,000 and nuclear power was going to save the world.

  3.  @haydenmalesky2518  Let me get very serious. You say LBJ. Do you see him becoming president as part of the Kennedy assassination? That's worse than any policy that leads to social decline. I don't like this single mother or blame the parents thing going on in America, looking too racist most of the time. I'm Scottish. It's the job of grand-children to take care of their grand-parents. Most cultures are like that. That's what I've seen.

  4.  @haydenmalesky2518  I'm back to impress you further with "nuclear" talk. There was the nuclear clock on TV, always ticking one minute closer to nuclear midnight, the end of all life on earth. There were air raid sirens, with drills late at night, waking everyone up, not knowing if it's a drill or a Russian nuclear bomb falling on you. It always was worst around Christmas, when more families were together to see and hear it. When the Pentagon wanted to conduct another surface test, they would send postcards to people in Utah, one mountain away, saying when they see the blast they should hide under a kitchen table. The products made from the melted sand, glow-in-the-dark products, had to be recalled because people got cancer. I better stop typing.
