Last night, like many nights, after putting the kids to bed, I was mindlessly watching TV, while reading in my head, attention toward the tele, fading in and out, cared some, didn't care more, when the news made a startling, yet matter of fact statement, in that there are over 24 million kids, in the United States of America, living in homes without knowing a dad, which me sad, and mad, and feel really really bad, for the kids who had no dads, couldn't be very glad, for dads are good, at least the dads that are good, so why are there so many bad dads, that wont hang with, let alone ever know, their kids, seems almost criminal, at the very least immoral, inhuman, and unconscionable, because dad-less kids, in a way, serve a very long life sentence, that without any doubt, is a gazillion times longer, and more unfair, and sad, and bad than this pathetic excuse of a long sentence that I wrote here, to try to make a point, that the sentence, don't fit the crime, and we all know, that this written sentence, is almost criminal, so how's that compare, in comparison, to the sentence kids live out, without having a dad, so if you choose to be a father, then be sure to be a dad, because dads are good, if they're good.
