LOL. I heard the chancellor of Germany on the “Charlie Rose Show” say that he is plenty worried about her, due to their super democratic voting systems (or something like that).

I read only the beginning and the ends of this long thread, btw.

I looked at bedbugregistry.com about a youth hostel in NYC. No bedbugs were reported there, but how could that be? It must be that short-term European travelers don’t know about the registry.

Drat! 😉

“much like travelling abroad, one does not need to go medical school to be knowledgeable about medical related stuff as long as you know how to use the internet.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? rob- if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Ever hear of “garbage in, garbage out? Well, using the internet is like swimming in a big ocean of trash.There’s lots of treasure- to be sure- but you had better know who and what your sources are. The internet can give you information ABOUT things- and that information is good, bad or completely indifferent.

The more important ability is being able to discern which information is likely to come from professional, well-researched and accurate sources. In other words, reading wikipedia does not make you a doctor, any more than reading about Venice on the internet makes you a Venetian. You’ll only be an expert on what the internet says about Venice- a poor second to actually going there and experiencing it first hand.
