Paint-Covered Fingers
Something to ponder… Why is it that when someone tells you that there are billions of stars in the universe, you automatically believe them. But if they tell you there’s wet paint somewhere you have to touch it? Words have intense power. The meaning behind them allows for extensive analysis.

The Human Element: A Changing World of Advertising
