There is no easy way. There is no other way. We begin by understanding the limits of government and by accepting that government has a significant role. Government cannot love. Government cannot nurture.
Government is no substitute for loving parents.
We must find ways to end the tragedy of father absent families and all the problems they foster. Community and faith-based organizations must take the lead and government must be prepared to help them. We also accept government's inability to nurture a value system that generates respect for oneself and for others. Family and the belief in God have been and will always be the best. While the First Amendment appropriately prohibits the establishment of a specific religion, none of us can ever forget how profoundly and positively we are affected as individuals and as a community when we recognize our creator as an integral part of our lives.
