Staying Single is NOT Good for Your Kids, Part Two

Effect of Divorce on Kids

Writers never know what is going to connect, resonate, please, and/or anger readers. Staying Single (Part One) achieved that.

Whenever there’s a mass shooting, the mainstream media and different political factions always want to find someone to blame. The recent shootings at a naval base in D.C. promoted the usual declarations when it was pretty evident that the shooter was simply mentally unstable. So, instead of accusing our society of having a problem, why not just fix the issue of letting mentally unstable people not only have access to guns, but have unfettered freedom?
