Don't fall for the Racoon Trap. Racoons won't let go of shiny objects. Don't be distracted by the Shell Game. Don't Look over there. Don't worship Golden Idols. Don't follow leemings of the cliff. Think for yourself. Read Books. Learn from history. Understand observational science. Trust your eyes and ears. Be aware. Look both ways. Use the Smell Test. Cross reference your news sources. Trust but verify. Listen to Wisdom. Walk in someone elses shoes. Help others, and treat them as you would yourself. Be good. Do good. Try hard. Use the Litmus test. Evolve. Think for yourself. Be Yourself
