Johnson presidency, "From the slums of 19th century Irish wild east coast, in the riot-torn suburbs of Los Angeles, there is a unique lesson in American history: a community that allows a large number of young people grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring a stable relationship with male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future ... that the community requires and gets chaos, crime violence, unrest, disorder. "
There is a cause for every effect! In this case, a lack of leadership in taking care, fathers love behind much unrest in society.
