I don't talk about it on homeschooling lists because I'm not interested in
debating it. :) I'm also not feeling any more afraid or powerless over this
than anything else.

I don't mind posts like Marji's and I don't fret over them just because
we're on different sides of this particular issue. I would find it tedious
if pro or anti war posts became the order of the day on any of the lists I
frequent, but we seem to find other things to talk about, too, and I have a
good working delete key. :)
