Granite

I am visiting with Nana and Grandpa for a week in Georgia.  Today we went to the granite capital of the world, Elberton, Georgia.  In this town we first went to Georgia's Stonehenge.  Stonehenge is located in England.  Georgia's Stonehenge was built in 1979.  Nobody knows who wanted them there except the builder.  Next we went to McDonald's to get some lunch.  I had a McChicken, fries and strawberry lemonade.  Then we went to Ingle's to get a few things.  After that we went to the town square and saw where "Dutchy" the Yankee Confederate used to stand.  Then we went to a museum and saw where Dutchy is now.  Then we came home and I went down to the river to go swim but I only swam for about maybe 5 minutes.  Then we went to Maggie's Cafe.  It was awesome.  Write again tomorrow!  Here is what to do when the world ends according to the Georgia Guidestones.

  1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
  2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
  3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
  4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
  5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
  6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
  7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials
  8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
  9. Prize truth - beauty- love seeking harmony with the infinite.
  10. Be not a cancer on the earth - leave room for nature, leave room for nature.  
This is written in 8 languages but 12 total languages.  English, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Spanish and Swahili.  The top stone is written in Sanscrit, Babylonian, Cuneiform, Egyptian Heiroglyphics, and Classical Greek.
