All this talk about reality television makes me wonder if I believe reports that purport to be true. Reports that the US was conned into occupying Iraq, reports that homeowners have been conned into bad mortages, reports that Guantanimo’s purpose had nothing to do with countering terrorism. I hear, but do I believe? Well, today I learned of three purports so close to home I have to believe something is going on: Oregon vineyards are trying new heat-resistant grapes because the alcohol content is getting too high, the Boeing Credit Union has felt it necessary to reassure us it is financially strong, and my brother is buying a Prius. If the purports get any closer I may have to readjust my life style, practice a different breath maybe.
