    "Never argue with an idiot. He'll bring you down to his level and then beat you with experience."

    Not sure who said this, but it was hanging on one of dh's professors' doors in grad school. It always made me laugh.

    I LOVE that qoute, Inky. I've seen it before, and I think it's dead-on!

    My variation lately, based on my own experience, is "You can lead a child to homeschooling, but you can't make him learn." wink
