Boys and Girls in Space

the roman attempt may have failed but the native american version
thrieved. i dont know if it was all tribes that did so or only some,
but they beleived that it was the responsibility of the entire tribe
to raise the children. if a female had a child with out having the
desire to raise it, there were others that would aid in that. same
with with the father, if he did not take care of it, (while he was
being osterzised for it) others would take care of the child.
