OK, this makes a lot more sense to me. it is not a conspiracy to
destroy family values. It is a case of people develop theories about
what is wrong with previous generations, and then trying to implement
their theories to correct a whole generation. Of course, the real world
turns out to be more complicated than any simple theory would explain.
Simple solutions go awry in subtle unexpected ways.
I can see this being a wide-spread problem that would appear like a
conspiracy.
Thanks for explaining this further. Without the additional details, I
would have been tempted to dismiss this as another conspiracy theory.
