An interesting side note with regards to what to teach your children:

	I am informed by a friend of mine who spent several years
	as a student of Kung Fu that the philosophy and teachings
	that were given at the Shaolin temple (His teacher's teacher
	studied there, I am told) were basically in the philosophy
	necessary to be a good person.  There was no religious
	indoctrination, but the known religions were compared and
	the students were taught to examine them and their precepts
	so that they could discern what truths were there.

	This looks like an excellent way to teach a kid, but it does
	require a wise and well-educated teacher.

Hutch.
