- Be not the slave of your own past.
- Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far,
- so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power,
- with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
- ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Those are words to live by.
ReplyDeleteBTW I wrote a followup to the Folk Devils piece. I thought you might find interesting. Apparently there is a story on Slate.com written by a women who I suppose, fancies herself Queen of all Liberals! She tells the world that Liberals should be home schoolers, because it violates the *values of progressivism.
I have many thoughts about that clearly. I took your poll as well. The most difficult part for me is dealing with [you guessed it] people who criticize the lifestyle. To me though, that does go hand in hand with the other one: People assuming you are Christian.
Oops--[mistaken omission-- "She tells the world that Liberals should NOT be home schoolers, because it violates the *values of progressivism."
ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHH! Now that's different! LOL
Delete...Thanks for taking my poll. It's one of those things that we need each other for...because we all experience these things.
