scary news about boys and young men

I was listening to Coast to Coast AM last night and the guest was a Dr. Leonard Sax who has written a book "Boys Adrift" and he had a pretty scary message. He was outlining how guys are staying with their parents longer, aren't motivated to get into the work force, would rather play video games than study. This problem is getting worse and worse. He also went into how American males aren't going into trades any more. There was some kind of program at a suburban Maryland high school to get kids into plumbing (and Dr. Sax pointed out that plumbers make quite a good living and will never lack for work) and they only got 20 boys to enroll in the program (out of the whole county) and only 4 stuck through the program to the end.

Dr. Sax also echoed the conclusions reached by Mark Steyn in "America Alone" namely that in 50 years Europe will be dominated by Moslems and that the U.S. is likely to be split between Spanish speaking Roman Catholics and English speaking Protestant Evangelicals (because those are the only groups with stable families promoting masculine men and feminine women and having babies).
