Most of my fam is from Ireland but one great great came from Russia. I never wanted to go there and

Can not let it come to me.

I'd love to go to Ireland and hope to visit next year.

Russia? It's like asking if I'd like to revisit an insane asylum I escaped. The ghost of my Great Great Grandpa would rise and stop me. (Joking, I know there's no such thing, no need to correct me

For this reason I am sharing again for the nth time since 2003 the resources of the Albert Einstein Institution, founded by UH Peace Studies prof Gene Sharp.

Lots of resources including the 198 Methods of Nonviolent Resistance. Free on the Albert Einstein Institution page. He was a peace studies prof here at UH Manoa and wrote some very useful and practical instructions for this kind of situation.

The Albert Einstein Institution works to advance the worldwide study and strategic use of nonviolent action. Our work on this topic has been translated into dozens of languages. Visit our online library to access all currently available digital resources.

The Anti-Coup: http://www.aeinstein.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/TAC-1.pdf

I can't copy the text because it's a pdf but this is a valuable resource. Good luck to all of us in defending the values and the people of the United States of America from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Aloha to you all.

3. Russia is one of the top places i want to visit

The writers , classical music, ballet and so much more.

The history is so fascinating.

It's too bad about Putin since he is holding things back.

4. I've wanted to visit England to politely stand in a queue.

Kidding. I have strong English ancestry, so that's one of the main reasons. It's also easier since English is the only language that I recall now, having largely forgotten my "foreign language" education in high school years ago.

I visited Germany as a kid (when my brother was stationed over there), but I have no desire to return to a bunch of people STARING at me again!
