I was debating economic policy with my daughter at age 8.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, in realms like sexuality and drugs, you don't want them to grow up fast.

But I sreaked my high school, so that probably means a self-destructive exhibitionist streak.Loring Wirbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764834150305763077noreply@blogger.com
