I can't speak for Andreas, obviously, but I think his question stemmed from a belief that you might not really be a guy named "Glenn Schwaller," and that you might, instead, be one of Moscow's famous anti-public education Christian Libertarians. <br><br>I can speak for myself, however, in declaring that Andreas, if I've represented him correctly, might just be on to something.<br><br><font style="" color="#8064a2"><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3"><font style="" face="Verdana">Keely<br>www.keely-prevailingwinds.com<br></font></font></font><br><br><br><br>> Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:53:44 -0700<br>> From: vpschwaller@gmail.com<br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] NYTimes: The Uneducated American<br>> <br>> Andreas --<br>> <br>> Quit asking silly questions.
