This application is a continuation of Ser. No. 956,189 filed Oct. 5, 1992, now abandoned.
This invention relates to photoelectric sensors and in particular to through beam photoelectric sensors. More particularly, the invention relates to a low cost photoelectric sensor assembly for a through beam photoelectric sensor which may readily be repaired in the field.
The use of sensors to monitor the presence or absence of an object, its position, or some other condition of the object in manufacturing and handling apparatus is steadily increasing, due largely to the availability of computers, microcomputers and the like which can quickly respond to the sensed conditions and make appropriate changes in the process. A piece of manufacturing or material handling apparatus may contain numerous sensors. Photoelectric sensing is a popular form of sensing for many applications. However, the cost of photoelectric sensors is a deterrent to using this form of sensor in the growing quantities conceivable for such manufacturing and material handling apparatus. Moreover, since most sensing applications are in manufacturing production lines, and since it is undesirable to shut down such production lines for repair of any element thereof, repair of most photoelectric sensors presently available comprises replacement of the sensor on the site.
This invention provides a photoelectric sensor assembly which is particularly low cost and of modular construction to permit field replaceability of the electronics of the device without need to replace the lens, housing, mounting block and other hardware elements that comprise a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor assembly of this invention comprises only three components plus mounting hardware such as screws and nuts. Two of the components are molded plastic members; the third component is a circuit board assembly which is substantially the same for either a source or detector assembly. One molded member is a housing molded of transparent plastic having optical characteristics when molded, the housing comprising an internal chamber open to one side of the housing and having a focusing lens molded integrally with the housing at a side opposite the open side of the chamber. The housing also includes a mounting block portion molded integrally therewith, the mounting block portion having a substantially semicylindrical recess in one side thereof and a pair of holes disposed at right angles to the axis of the semicylindrical recess. A circuit board having terminals connected thereto has a photoelectric sensor device of either the source or detector type selectively mounted thereon. Significant cost efficiency is realized by utilizing one circuit board for both the source and the detector module. The circuit board may be readily inserted or removed from the chamber of the housing and retained firmly in the chamber by light finger pressure to facilitate initial assembly and subsequent removal and replacement of the circuit board in the event repair becomes necessary.
The other molded member is a cover for the open side of the housing, the cover overlying the circuit board and retaining the same in its assembled position. In a preferred embodiment, the cover also includes a clamping portion which is coextensive with the mounting block portion of the housing, the clamping portion having a semicylindrical recess complemental to that of the mounting block portion and a pair of holes transverse to the axis of the semicylindrical recess aligned with the holes in the mounting block. A pair of screws are provided for securing the clamping portion against the mounting block around a mounting bar or the like for mounting the sensor assembly to a structural member. The photoelectric sensor assembly of this invention thus comprises only three major distinct elements plus the mounting screws (and nuts, if required). A pair of the photoelectric sensor assemblies of this invention are utilized in combination, one comprising a light source and the other comprising a detector, to provide a through beam photoelectric sensor.

Referring to the drawings, the photoelectric sensor assembly 2 of this invention comprises a molded transparent plastic housing 4 having a cover 6 attached thereto by a pair of screws 8 which cooperatively receive threaded nuts 10 (FIG. 4). The material of housing 4 is a thermoplastic polyacrylic or polycarbonate that can be fabricated with optical characteristics. Preferably this material is a natural transparent polycarbonate sold by the General Electric Company under the trademark "Lexan". Housing 4 comprises a hollow chamber 4a (FIGS. 3, 4 and 6) open to the rear of the housing. The front wall of housing 4 adjacent chamber 4a has focusing a lens portion 4b integrally molded therewith. The interior and exterior surfaces of lens portion 4b are formed with an optical quality by particularly polishing these areas of the mold die. A pair of ribs 4c extend along opposite interior side wall surfaces of chamber 4a from the closed end adjacent lens portion 4b to the open rear side thereof. The ends of ribs 4c adjacent the open side of housing 4 have stepped-down semicylindrical bosses 4d formed thereon providing a shoulder between the respective rib 4c and bosses 4d. A third boss 4d is formed on the face of a bottom wall 4e of the housing adjacent chamber 4a. The rear ends of the side walls of housing 4 have inwardly turned stub walls 4f (FIGS. 3 and 6) defining a gap 4g therebetween which extends under bottom wall 4e. A mounting block portion 4h extends downwardly along the front of housing 4. As seen in FIG. 3, mounting block portion 4h is substantially hollow, being defined by the side walls of housing 4 and having a central rib 4j. Each of the side walls and the central rib 4j have a substantially semicircular recess 4k which together define a semicylindrical recess in a rear face of the mounting block portion 4h. Immediately above and below the recess 4k in central rib 4j are holes 4m extending through the mounting block portion 4h from front to rear at substantially right angles to the axis for the semicylindrical recess. A hexagonal counterbore 4n is molded in the front face of mounting block portion 4h around the holes 4m.
Cover 6 is a molded plastic member, also molded of transparent plastic such as the transparent polycarbonate of housing 4, although it could be molded of an opaque or translucent plastic without affect on the performance of the sensor assembly of this invention. The cover 6 is separately shown in perspective in FIG. 2 and in front elevation in FIG. 5. An upright rectangular portion 6a of the cover overlies the open rear side of housing 4. Rectangular portion 6a has a rectangular rib 6b that projects into the chamber 4a around the periphery of the opening and stub walls 4f of housing 4 extend under the lower corners of the rib 4b to position the cover 6 in place on housing 4. A pair of diagonally disposed openings 6c are provided in rectangular portion 6a through which terminals of the circuit board project as will be described hereinafter.
Cover 6 also comprises a lower clamping portion 6d which is coextensive with mounting block portion 4h when housing 4 and cover 6 are assembled together. Clamping portion 6d is similar to mounting block portion 4h in that it is substantially a hollow structure defined by a pair of outer sides of the cover 6 and has a central rib 6e. The outer sides and the central rib 6e each have substantially semicircular recesses 6f which together define a semicylindrical recess open to the front side of clamping portion 6d. Above and below the recess 6f in central rib 6e are a pair of holes 6g extending through the clamping portion 6d from front to rear at right angles to the axis for the semicylindrical recess and aligned with the holes 4m of mounting block portion 4k when cover 6 is positioned to housing 4. Hexagonal counter bores 6h (FIG. 4) are molded in the rear face of clamping portion 6d around the holes 6g. Screws 8 extend through the holes 6g into the counterbores 6h where hexagonal nuts 10 are received to be threadably engaged by screws 8. When the cover 6 and housing 4 are secured together by the screws 8 and nuts 10, the recesses 4k and 6f cooperatively define a circular opening with the mating surfaces of the mounting block portion 4h and clamping portion 6d being spaced apart as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. Thus the sensor assembly 2 may be assembled around or inserted over a mounting member such as a conduit, pipe or similar round bar 5 (shown in dot-dash lines in FIG. 1) having a diameter substantially equal to the circular opening defined by the recesses 4k and 6f and clamped firmly thereon by tightening the screws 8 into the nuts 10. It will be appreciated that the screws 8 and nuts 10 can be assembled to the sensor assembly 2 in the reverse direction to that shown if so desired.
A circuit board 12 is mounted in the chamber 4a prior to attaching the cover 6 to the housing 4. Circuit board 12 has a rectangular profile complemental to the interior profile of chamber 4a and is dimensioned to provide a minimal clearance in the opening. As seen in FIGS. 7, 8 and 10, circuit board 12 is provided with three semicircular recesses 12a in the bottom and two opposite side edges of the circuit board as oriented in the drawings. The radius defining the respective recesses 12a is larger than the corresponding radius defining the semicylindrical bosses 4d. Further, as may be seen particularly in FIG. 7, the recesses 12a in the side edges of circuit board 12 are offset upwardly from the bosses 4d such that engagement between the respective bosses 4d and recesses 12a occurs in the lower quadrant of each, thereby urging circuit board 12 downwardly upon the crest of the boss 4d engaging the recess 12a in the bottom edge of the circuit board. This provides a three-point interference fit for the circuit board 12 within the housing chamber 4a. The circuit board 12 may be inserted and removed from chamber 4a with only light finger pressure, but will remain firmly in place against the shoulders between ribs 4c and bosses 4d and against the face of bottom wall 4e while installing and removing cover 6. The location of the respective ribs 4c, bosses 4d and recesses 12a at the left and right-hand sides of the housing chamber 4a and circuit breaker 12, respectively, provide for proper orientation of the circuit board 12 relative to the housing 4. As seen in FIG. 7, the rib 4c, boss 4d and respective recess 12a on the left-hand side of the chamber 4a are located closer to bottom wall 4e of the chamber than are the similar features on the right-hand side of the chamber. Further, no boss or recess are provided along the top edge of the chamber and circuit board. This arrangement of mounting bosses and recess permits the circuit board assembly to be assembled only in one (proper) orientation.
Circuit board 2 has a pair of wiring terminals 14 mounted thereon projecting from a surface exposed to the rear of the sensor assembly. Each wiring terminal 14 has a pair of round posts 14a which project through and are secured within plated through holes 12b formed in the upper left and lower right-hand quadrants of the circuit board 12 as viewed from the back in FIG. 7. A central pair of plated through holes 12c receive respective pins of a photoelectric sensor device 16 attached to the opposite surface of circuit board 12 as wiring terminals 14. As may be seen in FIG. 7, a conductive trace 12d connects one of the plated through holes 12c to one of the plated through holes 12b directly connecting one pin of the photoelectric device 16 to a terminal 14 of the circuit board 12. Circuit board 12 is particularly arranged to receive either a photoelectric sensor source such as a light emitting diode (LED) 16a (FIGS. 6, 8 and 9) or a photoelectric sensor detector such as a phototransistor 16b as seen in FIGS. 10 and 11. Each device 16a and 16b has two pin terminals which are received in the plated through holes 12c for mounting the device to the circuit board 12. The opposite surface of circuit board 12 is provided with a pattern of electrically conductive traces as seen in FIGS. 8 and 10. A pair of resistors R1 and R2 are mounted to the traces by surface mount technology for either source or detector application of the circuit board 12.
The source circuit board 12 is shown in FIG. 8 and the schematic diagram therefore is shown in FIG. 9. The photoelectric sensor source is the light emitting diode 16a connected in series with resistor R2 between positive and negative wiring terminals 14. A diode D1 is surface mounted to the traces in series with resistor R1 and reversely poled around LED 16a to protect the LED in the event the sensor is connected with reverse polarity. Diode D1 has three terminals for mounting purposes, but the diode is actively connected between only two of the terminals. As viewed in FIG. 8, the upper right-hand terminal of diode D1 is not electrically active. Three pads 12e, 12f and 12g of the conductive traces are not utilized in the circuit board 12 for the photoelectric sensor source.
The circuit board 12 for the photoelectric sensor detector is shown in FIG. 10 and the schematic diagram therefor is shown in FIG. 11. The photoelectric sensor detector is phototransistor 16b which has its collector-emitter connected in series with resistor R2 between the positive and negative wiring terminals 14. A transistor Q1 has its collector-emitter connected in series with resistor R1 between terminals 14(+) and 14(-) across phototransistor 16b and resistor R2. The base of transistor Q1 is connected to the junction between the emitter of phototransistor 16b and resistor R2. A second transistor Q2 has its emitter-collector path connected directly in series with terminals 14(+) arid 14(-) in shunt of the remainder of the detector circuit. The base of transistor Q2 is connected to the junction of resistor R1 and the collector of transistor Q1. Transistors Q1 and Q2 are attached to the conductive traces of circuit board 12 by surface mount technology, the transistor Q2 being attached to the pads 12e, 12f and 12g which were unused in the embodiment for the emitter. Transistors Q1 and Q2 provide amplification of the signal provided by phototransistor 16b.
The circuit board assembly is either a source or a detector according to the particular components attached thereto. The circuit board is inserted into chamber 4a of housing 4 through the open rear side thereof with the photoelectric sensor device 16a or 16b facing lens portion 4b of housing 4 and wiring terminals 14 extending to the rear of the sensor assembly. The circuit board is positioned within the housing by its engagement with the shoulders on ribs 4c and with face 4e such that the photoelectric device is properly located relative to the focal length of the lens. Cover 6 is then attached to the housing 4 and the sensor assembly 2 is secured together and to a mounting conduit, bar or post by screws 8 and nuts 10 as aforedescribed. The photoelectric sensor assembly herein described is used in through beam photoelectric sensor applications wherein a sensor assembly having a source element is used in cooperation with a second like sensor assembly having a detector element.
A low cost photoelectric sensor assembly is achieved by molding the housing of a plastic material having optical qualities, whereby a lens is an integrally molded portion of the housing, and by integrally molding mounting structure with the housing and the cover. Provision of a circuit board common to both a source circuit and a detector circuit reduces the cost of the circuit board assembly. Mounting features for the circuit board in the housing are incorporated in the housing molding. Finally, provision of only three major components for the sensor assembly, i.e. the housing, the cover and the circuit board assembly, reduces manufacturing stock and assembly time, each of which contribute to reduced cost. Field repairability is accomplished by making the circuit board assembly easily removable and replaceable.
The foregoing has described a preferred embodiment and best mode contemplated of providing the photoelectric sensor assembly according to this invention. However, it is to be understood that the invention is susceptible of various modifications without departing from the scope of the appended claims. By example, one contemplated alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 12. Housing 4 is essentially the same as aforedescribed and is given the number 4'. A particular difference is that housing 4' has a cover 4p integrally molded therewith, connected to the main body portion of the housing by a living hinge 4q. Cover 4p has a pair of holes 4r for the wiring terminals of the circuit board 12, and a rearwardly projecting barrier 4s disposed between the holes and therefore between the terminals. The lower wall of housing 4' defining the bottom of chamber 4a' is extended rearwardly at 4t to provide a ledge against which the bottom edge of cover 4p can engage either with a snap fit detent or a press fit to hold the cover closed over the circuit board 12. In the modified embodiment, a separate clamping member 20 is provided. Member 20 may be made of metal or of plastic. In the embodiment shown, a metal clamping member 20 has threaded holes 20a for receiving screws 8, thereby eliminating separate nuts 10. Moreover, a formed metal strap having threaded nuts welded thereto can be used in place of the member 20.

Echinopsis surprise (flower pic)
Hi everyone,
I had an Echinopsis surprise this week. I know, I know, it sounds like some type of dessert, heh heh, but it's actually been a nice little display on one of my un-named Echinopsis cactus plants. I thought you might enjoy seeing it too.
Side view with Agave parryi in the background (and some sandpaper verbena foliage sneaking in from the right):
Top view with a tennis ball to show relative size:
Close view of an individual bloom from the side:
It's a no-name plant that I purchased as a "rescue" at a garage sale a few years ago and it's done really well since then. It gets unobstructed sun from sunrise until mid-afternoon when it gets shaded from a lemon tree. I water it once a week during the blast furnace months, and then maybe, just maybe, once a month the rest of the year.
I hope you'll take a look and enjoy. Let us hear (or see!) what's looking good, or awful, in your garden this month (I have plenty of both).
Take care,
Thanks for the comment! I do enjoy hearing that folks are taking a look. :) I wonder if it has trichocereus in its ancestry too.
I have a few dozen of echinopsis plants, some labeled and some not. I really do like them. For plant form, good ol' 'Los Angeles' is hard to beat since I like 'em big, and I like 'em round, LOL.
Thanks again for the comment.
Take care,
Wow, I'm not too into the cactus like plants but that one is awesome. Love the flowers and the way it gets the spikes for them. Think I'm going to start me a little desert area in the front corner of my yard just for that sort of thing. Thanks for posting the pic.
Thanks for the comment, Gemfire. Most echinopsis are also happy in containers with morning sun, or dappled light, so that's an option too.
If you set up a desert area, or get an echinopsis, we'll want full reports. :)
Take care,
HOLY CRAP Arizonny that is beautiful I have never seen one with so many flowers on it at the same time!!!Havn't a clue on what it could be I'm not very good at identifying plants.
I see it is close to a rose...how are you watering it ...do you fert the rose??
PS how old is your tort and what it his/her name
Lol. Believe it or not, that started as 1 (ONE!) piece. I got it from my SIL that lives in Kingman and has several. It has at least that many blooms a couple times per year and the fragrance is magnificent.
Poor planning on my part is how it ended up near roses. It's actually between two roses. It sits at the edge of my patio, on the North/East corner. The roses started out as miniatures that I bought at the grocery store half dead for .25 each. :( So you see, never in my wildest dreams, did I think that any of that mess would live to take over half of south Tempe!!
Now, as for "Max", I have had him for about 8 years. Not sure of his age. I had another that I somehow lost during hibernation. She just never showed back up. I had only had her for 2 years and the people who had her, allowed her to hibernate inside. I may have made a mistake by leaving her out.
They really are great 'back-yard' pets aren't they?
Hiya Arizonny and all,
Amazingly beautiful plant! I love it and the pic. Take a look online or in your books for Echinopsis subdenudata and see if you think that's what you've got. There are so many species and hybrids it's hard to say for sure, but that's the one that comes to mind.
Whatever type it is, it's just magnificent and I'm utterly jealous. It looks just perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Take care and sorry for the slow reply--I took a last minute road trip to Palm Springs this past weekend and just got back. Did some very nice retail therapy for the garden--I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow.
Thanks again for the eye candy. Good job on that one!
Take care,
Echinopsis 'Los Angeles' decided to surprise me this week with a nice little show. It's always amazing to me how quickly the buds swell and grow. It seems like you just notice them forming, and then just a couple of days (okay, nights, LOL) they're open. The display is not nearly as magnificent as Arizonny's plant, but I hope you'll still take a look and enjoy. They are very nicely scented.
With a tennis ball to show size:
With my big clump of Agave americana in the background (don't tell the agave weevils!):
Anyone else have some blooming? Or just growing? We'd love to see/hear more.
Take care,
Hmmm...okay, I'm trying your new and improved method of embedding zonny, lemme know if it works. I'll make sure I can see the pics in preview (though I did that for the others too). Hopefully they'll work.
Thanks for letting me know you couldn't see the pics. Hopefully they'll show up this time.
Take care,

News Release
Fifth Third Bank Launches New Remote Capture Lockbox Strategy
Treasury Management Solution Helps Businesses Accelerate Payment Collection
Cincinnati – Fifth Third Bank has launched a new program that will help Commercial Banking clients avoid mail delivery delays and improve the payment receivables process. This new offering coincides with the recent announcements by the US Postal Service (USPS) that it will be reducing the number of processing plants which will result in longer mail delivery times in 2012. The Fifth Third Bank offering will help its clients mitigate any increases in mail float as a result of the USPS changes.
Fifth Third Bank has teamed up with SourceHOV, a leading company specializing in end-to-end business process services, to launch its new Remote Capture Lockbox strategy. This new strategy is designed to increase the speed of payment collection from post office locations and streamline the receivables process for Wholesale Lockbox Network clients. SourceHOV will retrieve business-to-business payments at post office locations across the country and will image them for processing at Fifth Third Bank's Cincinnati processing hub. This procedure will help reduce mail float delays associated with mailing payments to the processing center and help improve funds availability for business-to-business customers. The program will begin with SourceHOV's local processing center in Dallas, one of the nation's premier mail float locations.
"As mail delivery options change over the next few months, Fifth Third Bank is exploring new ways to help our customers efficiently manage receivables and effectively optimize their working capital," said Jeff Ficke, senior vice president and director of treasury management for Fifth Third Bank. "The Remote Capture strategy will help provide clients with improved mail delivery times assisting in a streamlined receivables process. This is one way that we help our clients manage their working capital so they can operate more efficiently."
As businesses look for banks to be more innovative in developing Treasury Management solutions, Fifth Third Bank delivers a consultative approach of working with Commercial Banking clients to help improve overall business operations.

Choosing Room Divider Sizes
Each Screenflex Divider is constructed from of a series of 22" wide hinged panels. Panels open and close accordion style, and can be set up in many different configurations. Screenflex portable walls are available in six heights and six lengths, giving 36 different room divider sizes from which to choose. Room Divider sizes range from 4 feet in height, up to our tallest folding wall size at 8 feet tall. Room Divider lengths range from 5'9″ to 24'1″. If it's determined that extra length is needed, optional connectors can easily be added to join units together to create the desired length. When closed, a divider requires only 2′ x 3′ of storage space, about the size of an office chair, and multiple dividers nest together for compact storage. Not finding what you need? Just ask!
Choosing the correct size, number and configuration of Portable Room Divider walls might seem challenging, but we make it easy. Simply let us know what you're trying to do and we'll help you choose the right size divider, and we'll even send you a no-obligation, free room plan. Determining the correct size and height for your space is just part of what Screenflex consultants do for our customers. Whether it's turning corners, making multiple rooms, or fitting odd-shaped rooms, Screenflex consultants and floor plan experts are here to help answer questions and guide you through the process.
Armed with a background in the architectural and building trades, Screenflex founders bring their understanding of how to best use space, and that every room and situation are unique. We will always work to find the most economical solution for your need.
From our 25+ years of experience, we've learned that one size certainly does not fit all, which is why every Screenflex unit is made to order based on your needs and specifications. You can receive the most accurate advice and pricing by calling us for a quick quote at, 800-553-0110.

Sony Pictures has had some success this year with "faith-based" films such as Moms' Night Out, When the Game Stands Tall and Heaven Is for Real. Now their animation division is getting in on the action.
The Wrap reports that Sony Pictures Animation — the company responsible for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Smurfs and Hotel Transylvania — is teaming up with DeVon Franklin, a preacher and former Sony executive who now heads his own production company, to develop The Lamb, an animated version of the Nativity story featuring "an all-animal cast."
If the film does get made, it would be only the second Bible-themed animated feature to be made by a major studio, following The Prince of Egypt, which was produced by DreamWorks in 1998 — though the independently-produced Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie also got a wide release in 2002.

Phil Collins is coming to town in June to play a rare two-nighter at the Electric Factory.
Collins recently announced his first album in eight years (Going Back, due in September) and a three-night New York engagement at the Roseland Ballroom.
The Electric Factory dates are June 20-21, the day before he starts the New York engagement. On June 17, he will receive the Songwriters Hall of Fame's Johnny Mercer Award.

And you thought Austin Powers was an international man of mystery.
Seth Green, the Overbrook Park-bred actor (Scott Evil, Robot Chicken, etc.) and his fiancee, actress Clare Grant, are keeping their wedding plans close to the vest -- and everything is so quiet that his parents, Herb and Barbara, are unaware of where the ceremony and reception will be.
Story goes that guests are being told to wait for word Saturday morning and will be instructed to meet limos, which will cart them to the festivities.

Tom Konidaris says he was sitting at the bar of his longtime Manayunk spot Zesty's, bemoaning the state of business with a customer/adviser, who told him: "You can't even get a monk and nun in here."
The customer explained that two trick-or-treaters dressed as a monk and nun had just walked by.
And so Munk & Nunn -- no religious connotation -- is the new name of Zesty's (4382 Main St.), which is being redone as a Mediterranean-influenced gastropub specializing in small and medium plates, sandwiches, salads, and his signature hummus and tzatziki, jumbo lump crab cake and grilled octopus. (Talk about amassing every trend in one, eh? Pizza? He's got that, too: A guy dressed as a monk and wearing a chef's hat will be baking pizzas in a brick oven by the front window.)

Gayot and MSN have scoured the country for the best pizza restaurants, and Cooper's Brick Oven Wine Bar -- the next-door neighbor of Jake's in Manayunk -- was named to the top 10.
MSN blurbs: "Fired in a brick oven at the back of the open kitchen, Cooper's pies come topped with crimini mushrooms, fennel sausage, pulled barbecue pork and smoked Gouda. More than 25 wines by the glass along with tasty, well-priced salads and daily specials draw a crowd at this stylish gourmet wine bar, including demanding Main Liners unhappy about waiting. Forget the snippy swarm and tuck into a Roquefort wedge spiked with bacon, or a plate of andouille-stuffed scallops with tarragon pickle sauce, and you'll feel just fine."

Well, this election is important, as every election is. Civil servants who uphold the Constitution and perform the duties of their office with integrity and honor are essential to the formation and maintenance of a just society. That makes voting one of the greatest responsibilities of citizenship.
But while electing competent and honorable individuals to office is important, it is never the solution to a nation's woes. Unless political change is accompanied by cultural change, any improvements in the social conditions of a country will be limited and temporary, regardless of who is at the helm.
Remembering history
If history has taught us anything, it is that neither politics nor politicians will save us. Over the last few decades, we have seen that political corruption, abuse, and scandal are no respecters of parties or persons, and that political party affiliation is no guarantee that values social conservatives hold dear, like the sanctity of life and traditional marriage, will be upheld.
I am of an age to remember that in 1969, Republican governor Ronald Reagan pioneered "no-fault" divorce with the California Family Law Act. Later, in 1973, Roe v. Wade was decided during a Republican administration by a Supreme Court in which six out of the nine judges had been installed by Republican presidents. And today, there is a movement within the GOP to back off social issues, and even change its position on gay "marriage."
Those actions, as well as the ones being blamed for our current state of affairs, did not emanate from the hats of our government leaders; they were informed by the real or perceived values of society. That's because culture shapes politics, and not the other way around. Consequently, any real and lasting solution to our nation's problems must address its moral climate... Continue reading here.
