But in all this slicing and dicing there is no cube with the fathers and mothers of the US

Sir Jurek Martin in “Do not let Limbaugh pick the president” May 8, says “We are slicing and dicing the great American Community as it has never been sliced and diced before. Every component part is in play – black, white, men, women, Hispanic, Asian, rich, poor, old, young, Protestant, Catholic, evangelical, Jew and non-believer”.

To this we would then also add the slicing and dicing that the US Census Bureau does when reporting on the characteristics of citizens who voted or not in the elections and which, to Jurek Martin’s components adds: Nativity Status (whether born in the US or naturalized), Marital Status, Educational Attainment, Employment Status, Tenure (whether they own or rent the house), Duration of Residence at the place where they now live, Veteran Status and the Region where they originally come from.But surprisingly, at least to me, no one seems to be interested in the cube represented by fathers and mothers! Since the backbone of a nation is its people and the backbone of its people is God and families one has to wonder whether someone is taking the US backbone for granted.
