Jonhinthorne is a Spanish Teacher and Thinker living in St. Louis, MO.
What can I say, an explanation of who I am is not something I can sum up in this little box. Just know I am very open minded and love to keep my perspectives on things in this world ever changing and growing.jonhinthorne’s website:

I wish the citizens did not need to be “roused to action”. If that is what it takes, than consider myself and everyone here “rousers” but I hope our world can learn to rouse ourselves and unify “already roused.” I hope that made sense.
Anyone who has not heard of Jeffrey Sachs, now definitely has after reading this article. Masterfully and succinctly written, Dr. Sachs hits the macro, global issues right on the head. My favorite quotation is: “The greatest strengths are achieved when global goals are linked to local energies and national financing.” This unification of local and global is the future of where our country and world are heading.
I love the solution to “What if I run out of make-up?” The answer: Hang out with people uglier than you.I think this video is great because of the positive tone it casts on a not-so-positive thing: depression. Cheers.
This Good news series is absolutely perfect. I applaud the efforts and would absolutely love to work on a project as refreshing and ground-breaking as this. Thank you for all you do to make this happen.
To comment on the Anonymous commenter and his/her comment, I believe you have to sometimes know the sour in order to know the sweet. We cannot turn a blind eye to issues such as this conflict which was, as we know, one of the cardinal concerns of Gandhi in the early and mid-20th century, the India/Pakistan conflict. Whether it is Top Priority or not, we must move swiftly in our diplomatic conversations and resolutions in regards to this heightening problem in South Asia
Jeffrey Sachs and his team have been working on this project since 2000 and have had dramatic success to moderate successes all around the globe.I love the idea of “deciding our priorities” as a world. That starts with an impetus from the UN to each of the 189 nations to work together to achieve these massive goals.We are talking about answering the “Big Problems” such as poverty and preventable diseases. My hope abounds.

It was the 1920s and Prohibition had just set in! I am glad we have moved on from our horrible ideas as a nation. If only we could stop making the same mistake: lovingly called WAR
I see a great need for interjections that express joy and triumph. I see “W00t” as meaning a bit more than “yay” though!
It’s a lot better than all the swaring that goes in our languages (Especially in English)
