15. clipped from: www.psychologytoday.com

“Our culture is concerned with matters of self-esteem. Self-respect, on the other hand, may hold the key to achieving the peace of mind we seek. The two concepts seem very similar but the differences between them are crucial.

It is a fact of nature: When a honey bee returns to the hive after finding a good source of nectar, it will perform a unique dance for its hive mates, detailing the distance, quality and quantity of the new food supply.

Sadly, honey bees are mysteriously vanishing in staggering numbers – a crisis known as Colony Collapse disorder – which is alarming considering honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of our natural food supply.

To esteem anything is to evaluate it positively and hold it in high regard, but evaluation gets us into trouble because while we sometimes win, we also sometimes lose. To respect something, on the other hand, is to accept it.

The person with self-respect simply likes her- or himself. This self-respect is not contingent on success because there are always failures to contend with. Neither is it a result of comparing ourselves with others because there is always someone better. These are tactics usually employed to increase self-esteem. Self-respect, however, is a given. We simply like ourselves or we don’t. With self-respect, we like ourselves because of who we are and not because of what we can or cannot do.”

Way to go Sprint.

Goodby, I’m very disappointed in you right now.

Brand: Planned Parenthood
(not originated from Planned Parenthood)
Execution: E-mail/Viral
Target: Pro-Choice Voters
Description:
An e-mail campaign urging people to support Planned Parenthood with a small donation, but with a twist. The e-mail reads as follows:

Hi allI don’t know how you feel about Planned Parenthood, but this is a great idea. I just did it myself, and feel fantastic about it. Simple, fast & cheap. And toward a great cause. Pass it along…Instead of (in addition to?) us all sending around emails about how horrible she is, let’s all make a donation to Planned Parenthood. In Sarah Palin’s name. And here’s the good part: when you make a donation to PP in her name, they’ll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor. Here’s the link to the Planned Parenthood website:https://secure.ga0.org/02/pp10000_inhonor

You’ll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the “in Sarah Palin’s honor” card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:

McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202

PS make sure you use that link above or choose the pulldown of Donate–Honorary or Memorial Donations, not the regular “Donate Online.”

A day in the life of Hitler as an Ad man. He was the king of propaganda back in the day. This is what probably would happen if he was around today.
