So....

You want to go back to the time when we had world wars, exterminations and laws based on race? Or should we perhaps scrap the notion of "the family unit" and get down to the things that actually matter in a society, which is employment and class?

We behaved like barbarians when "the family unit" was stable. We are not as barbaric now that "the family unit" has disintegrated. These are facts.
