re: #76 vxbush

May we contrast? I had no father growing up. No father, no step-father. No one. But I am not a flaming Marxist. Obama and everyone who grows up without a father has a disadvantage, but it does not change the fact that s/he must learn to live and must make choices based on what skills s/he already has.

I hope I don’t have contempt for men for not having a father. I don’t think I do.

Good point. Everyone is responsible for his/her own life in the end. You can only blame so much on bad parenting.
