Just_Super Refusing to visit a particular country has become a popular form of protest in recent years. Don’t go to Russia because of its brutal unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Don’t visit Israel because of its also brutal treatment of Gaza and the West Bank and the mass slaughter and displacement of its people. Stay away from China because of its oppression of Tibetans and of Uigurs in its western Xinjiang province. And most high-profile of all (and injurious to many tourism and…

  • My husband went to Niagara on the Lake when we went to the G. B. Shaw Festival. The performances were wonderful. I do hope the younger generation does not forget how smart and funny Shaw was. Also, the town of Niagara on the Lake was delightful.
