Only serious answers please.

Answer 1

The very nature of a nation, of a government, as a people of any country or even tribe. Is based ENTIRLY on the success of the family within that society. But your almost seeing the truth about something, very, very deep. I know you ask this question because your starting to grasp how powerful the family is, but when you look around the less traditional american society, you see a soceity based more on the individual. Not a good set-up but the human heart doesn't perverse in quite the same way as we'd like to believe. No matter what the family is at the core of almost every descision anyone makes in any society AS an individual to a point so intense that most of us wouldn't even requinize it or even accept it. In alot of ways what a society is is a representation of what the families within that society are or at the LEAST the values they hold. For american its an interesting situation more so then any society in history due to the fact that ours is one inflex, in constant change and growth, much like the rest of western culture this truth becomes more and more easy to see WHEN under a percieved threat. The way we reacted to the Towers should be a good indication of that. We didn't react to that to save our economy, we reacted to that to save our way of life, which is a reflection of our society, which is a refection of our families. No matter what, the love for our identity, our families, drives us all, if not the hate well......
