Reply #99: I think it's the stress

[bloom]

and I do think the B**h Administration is partly responsible.

The war, the economy, gas prices, the job situation.... hopelessness.


Sure there are the society attitudes as well, and expectations and such...

It is interesting about the red states - it would be interesting to know more about that. It could be partly the loss of manufacturing jobs and the effect that has had on the economies of the area as whole.... It could be with people not accepting changes to the traditional roles - more tensions with that.

I have two sisters - one nearly got divorced - was in the process - the other one whose divorce recently went through. I would say it was a combination of male chauvinism & economics - threatened by the wife getting an education/job - the other relating to job loss/not really compromising on job support (commute problems)/division of responsibilities/expectations.

P.S. They are Republicans.
