I don't know about the "wild" yet -- we haven't lived here that long -- but my 14-year old son is having lengthy political debates with his liberal friend. My son about fell over when his friend said he thought that the loss of some of our rights might not be a bad thing.
I'm glad to say there are quite a few kids on my son's side :-)
The products of our wonderful education system...courtesy of the teachings going on for several years now..which teachings are proliferationg as we speak. Folks. it didn't just happen by accident.
