If one is looking for root causes, it's simple, but requires honesty: people who have no business having children are having them, and expecting the rest of us to clean up the mess. It's as if someone knocked on your door in the middle of a dinner party, pushed passed you into the dining room, climbed up on the dinner table, and defecated. Then got up and walked out, while blathering about how it's our shared responsibility to clean up the mess.

When 14-year-old children are car-jacking people in WashDC, that's the parents' fault.
