What's interesting is that regardless of how we do or do not try to "indoctrinate" our children, apples rarely fall far from the tree. At 6, my daughter proudly told me that she didn't like Obama because, "he sounded like he wanted to take things from people." (or something like that) I had never really talked to her about politics. She's 12 now and hasn't changed much. Along the same lines, one of her friends is the daughter of a stereotypical highbrow-liberal family (using stereotypes here I know) and she falls in line with her family's political beliefs. I don't know if they've done much in the way of "indoctrination" but I honestly doubt it. I think in both cases it's how values and concepts are modeled by the family, not anything that is actively drilled into their skulls. My son just flips between thinking he's a Jedi and a Sith. He'll deal with politics later. Until Later! C. Hatton Humphrey http://www.eastcoastconservative.com Every cloud does have a silver lining.
