No Bubble Here, Apparently...
ETA: I tend to post things without comment when really I ought to comment. This quiz has some really unfortunate implications, and is based on this article, which ~ nya ...er. Okay, let's not mince words it's really, really pasty mcwhiterson white. Also really moral panicky:
Though politicians and media eminences are too frightened to say so, nonmarital births are problematic. On just about any measure of development you can think of, children who are born to unmarried women fare worse than the children of divorce and far worse than children raised in intact families. This unwelcome reality persists even after controlling for the income and education of the parents.
My pearls. It gets worse. "Industriousness" "Religiosity" and "Crime" are the next group of headings and ... yeah. Wanna guess what time frame it was in which everything went to hell? Guess. Go on, guess.
I kind of do miss fishing. It's fun. Probably not for the fish, but I tend to be very bad at fishing, so what the hell. I can safely say that no fish were harmed on most of my fishing expeditions.
