Challenge

Good day!  I was thinking about how unaware we are of things going on around us, so in the continuing saga of paying attention, I give you this challenge today.  There will be more to come, believe me.  Today I would like you to pay attention to the media.  Listen to what people say, and and how they say it.  Are they trying to use the "Orwellian Linguistics?" (you remember those, the ones where they repeatedly try to make you believe that something is true when it is not.)  Pay special attention to the message and see if in your gut, it rings true.  Not everyone lies, but some do.  Try and read the small print on advertisements.  You would be surprised what some of it says.  An example of this would be in the mascara commercials.  The tiny print says the models are wearing false eyelashes!  Hello!  I just want you to start paying attention to what we are being fed on a daily basis so you can make more informed decisions.  Make a ripple, check out the fine print, see what happens.
