Sorry slightly off topic, but I now have a mental picture of an giant flaming eye, homeschooling his kids to keep them from being corrupted by the dominant middle earth culture. :)

Well, I have ambitions of them becoming Evil Overlords, but it's hard for that to happen in the public school system. You see, the school system is actively hostile to superior achievement by students. Its focus is on getting the bottom 10% up to meeting minimal standards, while letting the top 10% rot. When you consider that it's the top 10% who are responsible for creating all the new businesses, jobs, and technological advancements, this is a recipe for long-term national disaster

BTW, my eldest DOES tend to think of me as the embodiment of Evil when I tell her to get off Aol Instant Messengering her friends, and do her math...
