that is one scary chart. Assuming it's accurate and not a statistical anomaly, the implications for american society are enormous and I might even go as far as to call it an epidemic. What are we doing to men in this country that is encouraging and allowing them to stay unemployed?
How many of those men are on government assistance and how many of them are investing in retirement plans? How many of them will never have children and how many of them are level 200 mages on World of Warcraft? And how many are waiting out miscategorization penalties on CB? But seriously, where is the passion and desire to excel, succeed and progress that have been historic hallmarks of american exceptionalism?
