I suppose I must say: Why wait til you have kids? Jumping up and down at
school board meetings is big fun....and you might not be tempted to be so
outspoken once your kids start making Rico 2 noises.. might want to
defund the whole music scene..

Seriously...the issue never goes away, does it? We should all jump up
regularly.. maybe not come down.

I've enjoyed the thread..
