[stylist] Harry Potter and imagination

[Judith Bron]

Bridget, The development of a child's imagination isn't the only thing being 
ripped from our young people, but living as a normal kid seems to be more 
and more a thing of the past.  I'm getting off my soap box before I raise 
the hackles of other list members, but your mom is a very bright woman. 
She's right.  Judith
