Yes sherman that is true. What I have a hard time with is the fact his most informative years were spent in Muslim countries without any American values or influence. Not to mention his communist/athiest mother and (apparently) bigamist father.
True. Though I do not think 6 to 10 are necessarily the most formative years. Most children of that age are, IMO, often quite unaware of what is going on around them in the wider world.
