		<description><![CDATA[I find it fascinating and inspiring that the people who will often say that I&#8217;ve accomplished things they never could and continue to do things they still can&#8217;t imagine doing are the very same people that never stop trying to get me to do things their way. They&#8217;re so programmed that they cannot see — [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written previously about my general disdain for the hodge-podge of collected pagan traditions that make up what we call &#8220;Christmas.&#8221; I won&#8217;t go into all that again. I will remind you that I still &#8220;celebrate&#8221; Christmas because it&#8217;s important to my family and &#8211; as long as the underlying meaning is emphasized, I still [...]]]></description>

For the most part I&#8217;ve gotten used to it and learned to live with it. This blog attracts people that are smarter than average. I love that. At Vox&#8217;s blog and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You think this isn&#8217;t coming here? I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s coming tomorrow, but we live in a sick world. This is most definitely what government, institutionalized education is about. Before you go looking for my tin foil hat, just remember that the Governator, just this week, signed into law what is effectively a ban on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not easy to remain committed to the choice of home education. There is an organized, concerted effort to make it difficult. The primary opponents would make it completely illegal if they could and that alone says much about what drives them. But I&#8217;ve found that even those that nominally support the concept are often [...]]]></description>

A few days ago she did this while I was working. [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s absolutely right and has been knocked around enough by people that have missed what he&#8217;s saying. I would probably qualify as what he calls a &#8220;true believer&#8221; and I know he meant that as an insult. But I didn&#8217;t take it that way. [...]]]></description>

Before you start chuckling to yourself, I&#8217;m way ahead of you. I haven&#8217;t given y&#8217;all much to work with lately. I apologize for that. That will be changing. [...]]]></description>

So if she can piss me off, there&#8217;s a problem with the system. Yet she has nearly every time I&#8217;ve encountered her since having children.
