HyperFamily Network and
the
Dysfunction blog were
started by Wayne Crews to filter news, commentary and resources for families on
today's cultural frontier. We streamline information to make daily life's
routines a little easier for busy and confused
households--while offering fresh commentary and background on the most contentious
social and scientific issues
that impact
today's families.
Our orientation is libertarian,
not liberal or conservative, Democratic or Republican. We challenge
traditional left and right dogma. Families are
changing; fewer households conform to the traditional
two-parent model, divorce remains high even as gays seek marriage. Kids are
being medicated--perhaps bio-engineered. Policies surrounding schools
and kids' upbringing cause unrelieved turmoil, primarily thanks to both
sides' attempts to impose coercive solutions on all.
Change is not new, but the pace
may be, making it both exhilarating and excruciating to ponder
the lives of our descendants 10, 20, or 100 years or more hence.
Especially notable are our increasingly secular lives (today's
earth-bound parenting downplays deep religious observance despite
nominal belief and proclamations); the changing nature of marriage and
relationships; the impact of medical advances and bioengineering and
related arguments over "
nature vs. nurture"; and the alarming treatment of humanity as
something apart from "nature" and "the environment."
Please let us know how
HyperFamily Network can improve. If you're a writer, or if you have
ideas we should include, you
know what to do.
HyperFamily has
received mentions in such outlets as Netpreneur, the Washington Times, National Journal's Technology
Daily and the Washington Post. We appreciate the kind
links from other family oriented sites.
