lurkette...
i took my first "media study" course back in high school. it was offered at the local college, and i needed a "blow-off" class for extra credits in this free study program i was in...
it blew me away!
funny though how even though i have studied and been aware of the power of the media over the years... subconsciously it still effects me quite powerfully. it feels like a never ending battle -- i can totally relate to what you said about feeling paralyzed! it's as though my brain simply reaches overload.
really interesting thoughts... good to be reminded of all this and find new ways to shut off all those unending subconscious scripts...
thanks lurkette... excellent insight *smile*
