I guess we are gonna agree and disagree here. I'm also guessing you're not married and are not a father.

I see too many men running around "pursuing their bigger interests" and leaving kids all over the place. You cannot say you are changing the world for the better if you can't or won't take care of your own. If you're not man enough to man up, don't get married and keep peter in the pocket.

If you don't see what I see then look at all the young children who don't have engaged dad's. Look them in the eye and tell them that your daddy is out making the world better.
