Re your post about homeschooling - I had to laugh at the notion of my symphony musician sister, who homeschools her girls (ages 4 and 8) and cans her own garden produce, as a domestic terrorist taking over school buses and the like! I'm so sick of the complaint that home-schooled kids get no "socialization." If you mean they don't learn to cuss like sailors by the time they're 6 or they do nothing but watch TV and play violent video games with other kids, I guess so. But both my nieces have lots of friends at church and in their neighborhood, the older one (a dead ringer for a young Liz Taylor, by the way) was picked to be in "Nutcracker" with the Pittsburgh Ballet this year, and - darn it all - they know the difference between right and wrong. Yes, we have a real problem with those two.
Good on your sis, and her children. They are the real hope for the future of our country.
...and beautiful, to boot.
That's just great.
