second of all.. the children comment stands for most any religion or philosophy....parents with manners teach their kids manners. parents who speak english teach their children to speak english. catholics, pagans, agnostics, christians, chicken-sacrificers, snake dancers...teach their children what they know. it's an odd and unthinkable system, that. most people don't call that kind of thing brainwashing, they call it "raising kids."

it's strange...i try and try to teach my kid arabic, just so she isn't brainwashed into being an american...you know, free to make her own choices...of course, i don't know arabic.. so it's just plain hard to do. i'm still trying though...i want to live up to your standards.
