Something not talked about enough is the devastation of the family in our “liberal democracy.” Maybe I feel the devastation more keenly because my family stayed in California when so many other left for greener pastures. The importance of family however, supersedes everything else. As a kid, you see the world through rose-colored goggles and don’t always see the problems in your own family, but for me, I only remember the decline. And then when my father passed in 2012, it just sort of crumbled away. What happened to my family is just one story of many in America during this time as the great transition from reliance on kin to reliance on state finally completes.
