Thanks for the excellent articles and thoughtful commenting.  I love this community.  Its not every day that I get to think about football, baseball, religion, Paul, and great Alberts in the same thread.
I really don't have anything to add other than I could not agree more with Heinlein, and that anything outside the mainsteam is worth at least thinking about, assuming it follows the Do No Harm rule, and ideally the Golden Rule (these two comprise the majority of my religious beliefs).  Explore homeschooling, non-public school models (my kids are in a Waldorf school).  See what Ron Paul and Herman Cain have to say, before you vote Romney.  And, of course, mix in some Dr. Detecto after your next dose of USS Mariner :-)
