Hi Everyone:
The Stossel posters are almost finished. I will have them available
by the end of this week so that we can start postering next Monday
and Tuesday (one week before the shows). I'll send another message
about that soon.
I'd like to get your opinions on one aspect of the posters.
They are all identical except for a hopefully eye-catching
and provocative quote that will go on the top of each poster.
I'm planning to use 3 different quotes for each of the two shows.
Here are the possibilities. Please let me know if you have
any strong opinions for or against any particular ones, or if you
have any other suggestions. They are meant to be based on the
content of the programs--some are direct quotes from people
interviewed. They should be eye-catching, not too vague, or too
complicated.
For "Are We Scaring Ourselves to Death?":
"We are in the midst of a cancer epidemic!"
"What does poverty have to do with government regulation?"
"If the government doesn't clean up toxic waste, who will?"
For "The Blame Game: A Country of Victims":
"Millions of our tax dollars have been spent to help the poor,
yet most are as bad off as ever...why?"
"A woman sues McDonald's after she spills hot coffee on herself..."
"You can't use racism as an excuse for not succeeding."
"The American welfare system creates dependency."
"Affirmative Action hurts more than it helps."
Thanks, Kris
