Happy 4th of July 2007 America! Independence Day is upon us, a birthday celebration of the day the United States claimed independence from Britain. The US is a nation made up of diverse and dynamic people. This Fourth of July will be like many before, with Americans celebrating their freedoms with barbecues, family gatherings, trips to the beach, and most definitely fireworks shows.
Sometimes I skim through news articles so rapidly that I misread headlines. One part of my mind may be moving faster than I have a chance to process the information or I may simply be conditioned to read what I expect to see. It’s not uncommon for me to view headlines like “vacation policies must be changed” or “departments to fill vacancies” while my mind is doing a word twist resulting in me initially seeing words like “vaccination policies” and “fill vaccines.” I viewed some headlines on an Internet news page today that I thought read “medical terrorists” prompting me to do a double take and check the headlines again.
