Orrrrrrr The mind set might be: Sure beats the 9 to 5 route.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Make it necessary for them to change their life styles.

Gitmo!!!

How about the damn parents teaching their children morals and that having children is for a man and a woman to do together? Oh yeah, I forgot. The liberals want anything is ok as long as it feels good at the time.
