I thought about trying to do something cute with this.
It doesn’t need it.
P.S. I, like Aurelio, would like to see changes made soon.

Quotes of the Week
“Only entropy comes easy.” - Anton Chekhov (c.1900); also stated by Lewis Mumford (1970)
“You should call it entropy, because nobody knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.” -  John Neumann (c.1939), suggestion to Claude Shannon on what to call his new formula for information
“Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.” -  Vaclav Havel (1986), Czech playwright

Smart 8 year old!!
More people need to write letters like that.
Jim R – Yeah, maybe a little too smart to be genuine? But the printing looks right. I’m guessing home-schooled. And yes, we need more people like this for sure.
Unfortunately, newspapers, TV news all believe that it is bad news (the badder, the better) is what makes good ratings and sells newspapers.
Mr. S – I wonder whether they’re wrong? People keep trying to start up “good news” media and failing for lack of an audience.
Would Aurelio prefer not to be told if some people are so profoundly evil that we understand that word because of the way they behave? Perhaps Aurelio is smart enough to be interested in what makes some people behave in such an unusual way that we use words like “madness” to describe their behaviour. I agree that we need to hear some good news along with the warnings about what is bad. We need to understand why some people are unwilling or unable to heed those warnings. Perhaps a discussion of writing styles also would be helpful. How loudly would Aurelio want someone to holler if war is about to break out?
Laurna – Good questions. I can’t answer for Aurelio. I’d prefer that the media — all of them — speak honestly and to the point about the world as they think it is.

She may be a touch naive, but there’s a wonderful nature about her.
