"The biggest problem in the modern USA is fatherlessness. The out-of-wedlock birth rate grew from ~nothing in 1938-1945 to 72% for Blacks, 60+% for many Latino and Native groups, and 35% for whites today. Virtually every modern pathology which worries us predictably followed."

I wonder if you held all other factors constant and cross compared data in communities with high% fathers vs low% fathers, what you would find... I would guess a lot less criminality and a lot higher educational achievement and I would also guess young men do "worse" in the lower % father areas.
