If only there were some...other object...in the model between the paternalistic government and the child that could offer support and guidance to help children navigate their __init__() process.
To be effective, such an object would have to approach the robustness of a family.
Alas, and to Mr. Krugman's point, the frog$kins got in the way.
But, contra his point, the solution to being off course is not to diverge further from the proper course. Fix families and a host of woes diminish. How? Find your community of faith, and lead a relatively less materialistic life. Those children are a gift on loan from the Creator.
Mad props for the Leslie Feist clip at the end of the post. Underrated genius.
