I don't really know but I do remember years ago reading about a survey that found children of hippies were actually more conservative than their parents. I was horrified. Of my two girls, one thinks she's conservative, in memory of her dad most likely, but I have hopes that she will see the error of her ways as Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-13003065031233454452011-04-03T07:26:53.359-05:002011-04-03T07:26:53.359-05:00Such a good choice today, Les!
