Where to visit in 2016:
Lonely Planet sez that the best places to visit in the US are:
1. Philadelphia
2. Natchez, Mississippi
3. Yellowstone National Park
The travel company grades places as:
o exciting
o intriguing
o up-and-coming
I've been to Philadelphia... exciting? Maybe.
I've been to Natchez and when I was there, there was nothing happening at all, as far as I could see.
I've never been to Yellowstone Park, but the pictures are wonderful.
A Rose by any other Name...
A New Jersey court removed three kids from the Campbell family because they were thought to be "White Supremacists" who abused their kids who are named:
Adolf Hitler Campbell
Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell

How to Manage People
Goethe wrote: "If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay as he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be."

More Wisdom

The proper study

Even More Wisdom

Things that I need to find out more about (from my 2012 notes)
o Inhalable caffeine
o Cincinatti High School paying students to attend
o People stuck in elevators, like Elaine and I
(I just read where a resident in a Chinese high rise apartment house was found dead of starvation in an elevator that had been shut down between the tenth and eleventh floor. Nobody found her body for one month. The walls were all scratched as she tried desperately to get out. Horrible story!)
o The Borough of Brooklyn, New York, gives sewage tours to newlyweds.
