For me, the way it works is that I sit down on the bus across from someone reading a newspaper and, because my eyes are open, I automatically read the headlines on the page facing me. I can't "not" read it unless I sit down with my eyes closed or am, by luck, looking a different direction. But, I guess what you all are talking about goes a step farther. Is it wrong of me to read a whole article on the back of his newspaper? He doesn't even know I'm doing it and it doesn't stop him from reading what he's reading. I can't complain if he closes the paper and gets off the bus, of course, taking his paper with him, but the question under discussion boils down to what's the harm in me reading the back of the paper which he is holding up in front of my eyes, right? And, the additional question, I suppose, is what's the harm if some people go around looking for people holding up newspapers so they can read the backs of them? <G> -pam National Home Education Network <www.NHEN.org> Serving the entire homeschooling community since 1999 through information, networking and public relations.
