Do I Do This Daily?
It's good that Belabor a Point Day falls (this year) on Labor Day, if only because the word labor is part of the word belabor.
Which point shall I belabor today? There are plenty from which to choose, but I think I'll pick one of, if not my all-time, favorite - awareness.
Is anyone really unaware of the relatively important things that sponsors of awareness campaigns want to make us all aware?
When was the last time you said, "I didn't know that" about something important?
I say that about trivial things all the time. That's what makes them trivia. For example, here's something I didn't know until just now. Wikipedia has a page listing Awareness Days.
Not all of them have the word awareness in the title, so it's a little questionable as to whether they should be included, but if they weren't, I'm sure there's another true awareness day that could take their place.
As I look quickly down the list, I really don't see anything that I wasn't already aware of. Family, food, skyscrapers, cancer, AIDS, bicycles, Earth, disease, turtles, towels, toilets - yeah, pretty much already aware of those things. How about you?
