Having a car does not encourage people to drive recklessly. You need to sue the education system that failed you. You'd win.

Not a good analogy. Before LBJs War on Poverty families were by far the norm, even in the black community. Ever since welfare expanded marriage has become rare among the poor and working class. Stable two parent families have become a subculture concentrated among the affluent. There was clear cause and effect.

Sounds like conditions are the trigger, not the car.

And what about the commitment that normally goes with the marriage? Ok many marriages fail, but the dads stay in the game.

No not a god, you're just one of those who doesn't get it. It's about owning your mistakes and not blaming it on a monster.
