Geraldo at 70 self Pict
So I See Geraldo Rivera standing in front of the mirror: Glasses on, cool, and I think ok, "what the f*ck did you do this time? and then I laughed, looking at all the comments. They were saying look at Geraldo, and what a fool he is making out of himself. But none said, "hey he looks like he has a good body" and so I reflected at the age of 70, will I look that good? Will I have taken care of myself? Eat right, sleep right, in short live right. Getting the most out of my body- from its style,to genetic type, to have a reminder that while we have a wonderful simulacra-sims life, that we also have a real body. .And at a certain point in time, one can ignore that no longer. So I applaud Geraldo Rivera. Once again he broke a stereotype, made a fool out of himself, and at his sacrifice I did some self reflection. so what will my life look at what I'm 70 years old? will I be healthy? happy? growing my soul? still enjoying life? having fun? so why not? I think maybe I'll start playing bingo when I'm 90, or never at all. I think her although Rivera sent a good bar to reach at 70 years old. One that is proportional to us all. Making a fool out of himself yet once again, and in playing the fool, he plays the King, and if we understand his message we two can raise ourselves from the fool to King and back again.... So it goes for you and for me.

8.
What news organizations do I listen to that are
completely opposite? So I can cross check the information this magazine/website
puts out. (Check out who owns that magazine/website also)
9.
Read formal definition of propaganda. Webster's
dictionary. Wikipedia. Youtube. Look for definitions – literary examples – cultivate
an eye – rhetoric – opinion – debate
10. Watch
for "tricks" plays on words, doublespeak, vague words,
misrepresentation, misleading descriptions, opinions on the information, keep
balanced, use reason.

Lesson one – if you spent more time or a
lot of time looking at the girl rather than using your mind, you fell victim to
a kind of propaganda – namely titillation
(side boob style).
