Wake up, and walk away from the social media every once in a while. Drop the smartphone. It's not making you smart; it's actually making you pretty dumb. Save the social media checking for when you're home. When you're out and about, drop it, and be uncomfortable again. Sit in a restaurant, and look around, but don't read Facebook: be present, and smile at the people that are around you. We don't need to be constantly doing things on our phones.
The Root: What were the major differences between the preliminary and final Emancipation Proclamations? Reginald Washington: The preliminary was issued Sept. 22, 1862, and it was basically a warning to those states that were in rebellion that if they didn't return back to the union within 100 days, all the slaves in those states ... would be set free. The final Emancipation Proclamation actually invited African American men to join the military, to be a part of the Navy. It, of course, took away those things that were found in the preliminary proclamation, like Lincoln's ideas about colonization, gradual emancipation, compensated emancipation and so forth. So it appears that during those 100 days, President Abraham Lincoln evolved to the point where, while he still talked about some of those ideas, he certainly didn't feel that they would be something that would be necessary in the final proclamation.

Fountain said he was offended by the paper's "conflating legal gun owners with some crazed tormented devil up in Newtown," and "wondered how they would like it if their addresses were published."
