Looking for Road Trip Ideas

I'm planning a USA road trip. I want to go to Columbia University and meet the young woman carrying her mattress around campus in protest to her rape. Then I want to go to Westboro Baptist Church to talk to some of those church members, then on to Ferguson, Missouri and then to the Texas border where the young Mexican children are crossing the border. Then I want to go to LA to the section of the city where hundreds of homeless live. Then I want to go to Slab City which I think is in NV. Have I missed any other points of conflict in our country?

Comments from friends:

Bobbie Wickline-  Well, Bridget E Kelly, how many square miles are there in the U.S.? That pretty much sums up the situation, in my opinion. You would also need to visit my neck of the woods, where a neighbor told me a couple years back that I had bought into the liber…See More

Bobbie Wickline-  And I heard that Boner said that the president's plan to take executive action regarding immigration reform would totally mess up any chance of Congress getting on board. LOLOLOLOLOL
