Actually we recently had an incident where a girl (who I think was 7 or 8, not even a teen) who is at pre-school with our 5 year old made an extremely disturbing comment to her that caused us to contact social services in case this girl is being abused at home. I think that was the main tipping point for my wife to consider home school. You figure if our girls are going to be hearing stuff like that from 7 year olds, what's it going to be like when they start mixing with older kids?
I'm so glad you have kids to worry about now. Give it a few years and you'll be watching Sean Hannity with me.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
