- P.P.S. But it was the same architect who did both Rockefeller Center and Rockefeller Empire State Plaza, Wallace Harrison! It's a small small world after all!

- PS. It's officially known as the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza, not to be confused with Rockefeller Center!

- Dear Katie, When in Albany, don't forget to see the the magnificent and monumental New York State Office Buildings Plaza either! You may even get a chance to interview Governor Spitzer!

- Hi Katie,
I agree with g98ed about the need to return to the values that this great nation was built on, especially "common sense". These days common sense seems to have flown out the window. It seems to me that this younger generation has had everything given to them on a silver platter and they have not had to work for anything that they have. Many seem to think that they can start out right at the top of the heap without having to earn their way to the top. Many more only want to collect a paycheck without having to work for it. This is very troubling to me. I, myself may not have very much but I've had to work really hard for what little I have. Nobody has given me anything and I don't expect that will change any time soon. - Reply to this comment
- You're gonna have to go more than skin deep to reach these kids. It may be all about what they look like on the outside, but inside you will find a state of wonder. They wonder where they will end up in 20 years. They wonder if they will be married, have kids, a job, or conform to society norms, albeit redefined, in 20 years. It's a big, big, mad, mad world out there. How they cope, fit in, flourish, and succeed is up to just one person...themselves. A little praise and encouragement go a long long ways. That is what they need to hear.

- Good evening Katie,
I agree with some of what g98ed stated in his comments. Primarily the statement about returning to the values this country was built on especially "Common Sense". From what I've been seeing these days is most of the younger generation do not seem to use "common sense" very much. Many of them have had things given to them on a silver platter and have never had to work very anything that they have. About men's hair falling out, I still have all of my hair and there's no signs of it falling out any time soon.

- Make no mistake, tatoos are a sign of low self-esteem. Ask anyone who got one why and they'll jump to say it's all about self expression -- it's something I did for myself. That's a lie. What's the first thing young teenage girls and boys do when they get one, they become a billboard advertising themselves to everyone, especially the girls. They say, "Look at this, isn't it cool?" And yes, everyone gathers around looking, making them the center of attention... Several months later they go get another one and the ritual repeats.
Get real Katie. Do we have smart highly involved kids graduating from college or deeply troubled kids that are really screwed up?
I agree with one thing you said. When these kids get old, they'll all look like Dali paintings. Ironically, it will be then that their inner selves will match their outer selves. - Reply to this comment
