Institutional Failure

This is thoughtful, thorough.  In particular, what jumps out at your humble servant here is your discussion of "structures."  Yes, another word for "structures" is "institutions."  Institutions like marriage, churches, government, families have traditionally shaped us.  The health of our society and of individuals depends on the health of these institutions, or structures as they are called in this discussion.  There is no need to belavor what the breakdown of traditional marriage has done to the health of our society.  Some of us seem determined to deny Natural Law and the experience of the human race over centuries.  We believe we can substitute welfare and schools for loving intact families with loving fathers and mothers.  All of this is resulting in ever-more chaos, and yes, crime, in our society.  Yes, sick institutions, sick structures, produce sick people.  Dr. Rux
