This episode includes Plato's blueprint for a Republic (like the United States) and the importance of destroying the family. This plan includes the destruction of the Biblical value of family and parental authority and teaching. This starts in public schools, and filters into our culture with television programs that continually mock parents, especially fathers, and exalt children. As an example try all programs coming out of Disney, and notorious adult cartoons like Family Guy and The Simpsons. These things will help bring about the day for Christians when "you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolk and friends..." (Lk. 21:16)
