I'm a long-time lurker, but this current debate and the responses to it have
finally spurred me to write. It's been wonderfully eye-opening to read such
a breadth of beliefs, and I hope that everyone still feels welcome on the
list. None of us would have had the chance to "meet" folks from such diverse
belief systems in our day to day lives, and I value hearing from all of you.
And Wini, I loved your response. I too, try to simplify things around here,
and battle the consumerism that seems to creep up from some awful place in
my brain. And I, too, cast the occasional glance at the closest preschool on
a day where the choruses of "he hurt my feelings" try to drown out my faith
in unschooling!
