37% Of US Births Out Of Wedlock
Not sure what this means for the long term, but I see it as a symptom of what is wrong with the political process. I'm not talking about the breakdown of the family structure, specifically. What I'm talking about is the spread of libertine values. Everybody wants to do 'it' their way. They want what they want, but dont see the need to make the commitment for the betterment of all involved.
Traditionalism has it downfalls for some individuals, but overall the collective is better for it. I'm not arguing for collectivism. Far from it, I favor a strong sense of individualism. But Individualism, and it's attitudes, need to be tempered with a level of responsibilty, or it will fail as a social structure.
This will lead to outside forces, like government, eventually seeing the need to impose responsibilty for it's own sake, and the freedom to be individuals, or what is left of it, will be further lost.

Sadly, even Christians are doing it, e.g. it doesn't matter what other people say cuz I know it's between me and God and I'll deal with it. You can't tell me what to do.
Well, at least 63% are born in wedlock...
There is good news here though. As the article points out, teen births are down. And the tougher welfare laws enacted in the 1990s were paternity designations are required in many states, have cut down on unwed mothers on public assistance.
But I share your concern about the destruction of the basic family unit.
By the way: I've challenged you to a bet over at my place. You in?

A fire at a karaoke shop in southern Vietnam, which authorities said killed 33 people, has ended search and rescue efforts, and the fire was caused by a short circuit. The incident occurred on Tuesday night in a 4-story, 30-room karaoke shop in Thuan An, Binh Duong Province. There were many customers in the shop at the time. The fire spread rapidly due to the wooden structure inside the building. The report quoted witnesses as saying that there was only one entrance and exit at the scene, and people trapped in the upper floors were forced to jump off the building to escape. Prime Minister Pham Minh Zheng extended his condolences to the families of the victims and he has ordered further inspections of high-risk venues, especially karaoke.
