Required Reading | Eastern North Carolina Now

Are we really required to read Required Reading. If so, is that constitutional?

ENCNow
    The Gwinnett Daily Post is a small newspaper in my County of Gwinnett, GA. They do not know everything like the Atlanta Journal Constitution in Atlanta does but they try.

    I like to read the Gwinnett Daily Post but recently I found myself in a real pickle.

    As I was looking through it I saw an article that had a gray box at the top that was labeled, MUST READ. This got me to thinking...

     Is there a Federal Law passed by the U.S. Congress requiring me to read all MUST READ articles?
     I am not sure why I am required by law to read an article headlined... Oldest living person credits longevity to raw eggs, independence ... or...'Jeopardy!' contestant dies of cancer before her show airs ... or...' Secret Santa pays off $64K in layaway at Pa. Walmart ... or...' Hundreds of snow geese die in toxic pit they thought was a lake.
     I feel very uneasy as I waver on the precipice of whether I should or really have to read MUST READ articles.
     If I do not read these MUST READ articles, would "they" know?
     If "they" would know, how would "they" know?
     Are "they" watching us as we read newspapers?
     Are "they" watching me as I peck out this Foolishness?

    It has started to get the best of me. To be on the safe side, I now read all MUST READ articles.

    Better safe than sorry, I always say.

    Would I kid you?

Funny how when we see something like: "must read, official, required, authorized," and more that we are automatically programmed to believe it has some legitimacy and we should pay some attention to it even if ever so briefly. (Wow, that was a long sentence. I need an authorized proof reader.)
