Required Reading

Today I was reading the Gwinnett Daily Post & I found myself in a pickle.

The Gwinnett Daily Post is a small newspaper in our County of Gwinnett. It is one of those newspapers papers that is sometimes thrown onto your front lawn for free in the hope that you will like it, read it and subscribe to it. They do not know everything like the Atlanta Journal Constitution does, but they try.

As I was looking through it I read an article that had grey box at the top that was labeled MUST READ. I then looked through the rest of the Gwinnett Daily Post & found that there was another article with the same MUST READ Reading Requirement on top. This got me to thinking...

• Is this a Federal Law passed by the U.S. Congress? (You know how they are always looking out for our well being.)
• I am not sure why I am required by law to read an article headlined, "FBI revisiting decades-old civil rights cases, including Monroe lynchings".
• I felt very uneasy as I wavered on the precipice of whether I should or really had to read the article.
• If I did not read the MUST READ article, would "they" know?
• If "they" would know, how would “they” know?
• Are "they" watching us as we read newspapers?
• Are "they" watching me as I peck out this foolishness?

It started to get the best of me. To be on the safe side, I read the articles. Better safe than sorry.
Would I kid you?
