The great divide

The important line in an Opinion/Commentary in today's WSJ, the author:

"That's the great divide in modern America, whether or not you had a functioning family, and she [Michelle Obama] apparently came from the privileged part of that divide."

I think this is a very important insight, putting the politics of the rest of the article aside. (Its good, by the way.) When we have families that function the way the Lord intended, with a father and mother who actively love and support each other and together actively love, support, discipline, and teach their children, we are privileged. That doesn't mean that without one of these things, a functioning family can't exist, in fact I think we all know plenty of examples to the contrary. It is that with a functioning family, however it actually functions, you will find your chances of success increases exponentially.
