First off, for some reason I can't access the article anymore,
but Lyn: yes, I _am_ Travid III, and if you're a cute hirsute
Jewish woman I'd love to get together sometime and tell you
how Jesus and Rush Limbaugh changed my life . . . <g> *

Mapi, I really wasn't trying to be holier than thou -- it just
struck me that someone who says

is pretty obviously childless, otherwise they'd realize that
the vast majority of children in this country are indeed raised
by "institutions", regardless of how their parents choose to
divvy up the wage-earning responsibilities: From the age of
about 5 on up, most children spend 6 or 7 hours a day in an
institution called "school". It may be a public institution --
it may be a private institution -- but unless they're being
homeschooled, the kids are spending a lot of time in an
"institutional environment", and it's been going on for a long,
long time.

What's that? Oh, it's being in a daycare "institution" for the 
first 5 years that causes a child to become a warped burden on 
society? Get real.

* for the sake of anyone who's going to give me grief on this,
  yes I _have_ met Lyn and I realize that she is neither hirsute
  nor Jewish -- although she _is_ awfully cute, but I'll stop
  while I'm ahead :)
