I'm a liberal Pagan classical homeschooling mother living in small-town Mississippi. If that hasn't crossed your wires yet, read on. I'm interested in things that help people make informed individualized choices in every aspect of their lives, including education, religion, ecconomics, aesthetics and so on.
