It speaks volumes about the nature of wealth. good thing gen z isn't having it. they (allegedly) are rejecting the 'dream' of marriage; kids; a house; a car... they see the dream as the nightmare its become. Meanwhile, we ...

Re: Planet America
In all seriousness, it's true that there are some great coutcomes for people who eschew traditional education for their kids in favor of homeschooling or even more unorthodox ways of raising and educating children.

Re: Miscellaneous Music That Isn't Rock
only heard "Tubular Bells", which somehow reminds me of Catholic priests. Didn't know of Ommadawn. Thanks.arthwollipot wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:02 am I may be old, but how good is Ommadawn?

Re: Planet America
it's not a "one size fits all" fantasy. but it's an obvious ingredient...and close to home. my nephew, for instance, found school to be a bore. my brother suggested that he quit going. so he did. before high school. in a few years, he was getting paid to tutor the kids in the school he qui...

Re: Planet America
easy: home schooling. Easy? I know people who have done it with great success. In each case, the woman, who was always the primary teacher, was very intelligent, and, for lack of a better word, disciplined. i.e. She wasn't flighty. She wasn't lazy. She was the sort who could stick to a schedule and...
