Many times the best intentions have the most questionable results.  The intent of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" legislation was to erase poverty, strengthen families, offer medical coverage to senior citizens, and more.  Well, on our score card today, we have had the destruction of many families and the family unit has been stressed, attitudes among many men that they are not needed except to impregnate women and no time after, among many women that the man is not needed after impregnation, and a medicare system that is effectively going broke.  And guess what?! Poverty is at an all time high! Well great intentions don't always work.
