HELLO, MY NAME IS SCOTT
One of my favorite quotes is the following one by Kahlil Gibran:
I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strangely, I am ungrateful to these teachers."
If Gibran were alive today, he just might amend his quote to read: "..., and from Scott Ginsberg I learned connectedness." Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, the 23-year-old Ginsberg has worn a hand written tag that simply says "Scott" on it for the last three years or so. According to Ginsberg, he began wearing a nametag in college as an experiment, and later decided to wear it forever -- yes, I said 'forever' -- when he realized how effective it was in helping people communicate.

As sweet as the idea is, sometimes a person finds herself in situations in which she doesn't want any old weirdo coming up to her and presuming that he knows her. She could end up in an even worse situation that people could say she was "asking for" because she was inviting the attentions of said weirdo by advertising her identity across her chest. Just a thought....grounded in some self-defense reality...
