Piazza San Marco

Millions will see Piazza San Marco in their lifetime. It is the one place you go to in Venice. The pigeons are horrible, the crowds are just as bad, but, as you can see, this is not Vegas, it's the real magilla. Go. You have to see it in person, once.

This I Believe-Draft

I believe it is possible to be a morally responsible, ethical, truthful, contributing member of American society (such as it is), without believing in myths. There is nothing wrong with buying into scientifically verified, evidence based, ideas. One can even raise decent, well-behaved, wonderful children who grown into even better adults. The children can even disagree with their myth-disbelieving parents.

I believe it is possible for the people of the world to get closer to living in peace without believing that myths are reality and expecting their neighbors to believe in the same myth. Living without myth (as much as possible) is the next stage of development for mankind, and the sooner we begin the better off the world will be.
