Hong Kong residents speak mainly Cantonese, not Mandarin.

Is there a place where the South Pacific origin stories are collected, or would we have to find them one at a time?
And is there a place to read the epistulary conversation Thom mentioned between Abigail and John Adams?

D'oh! The Willard hotel is at 1401 Pennsylvania Ave. and the term "lobbying" actually originated with the UK Parliament, where some, if not all, votes are (or were) recorded by signing a book in the lobby.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
On the Stephanie Miller Show, they said 1400 Pennsylvania Ave. is the Willard Hotel, where the term "lobbyist" originated.
