From The Oregonian:
To get through the day anymore is to withstand a blizzard of incoming information: from the Web, from electronic and print news providers, from handheld devices and chirping phones, from blaring billboards and drivetime radio, from the dancing teen in the sandwich outfit pointing the way to Subway.
Much of it is dismissable. But sneaking into the mix go surprising, sometimes persuasive advertisements for ballot initiatives with profound outcomes for the way life is lived: Oregon property taxes, sentencing of criminals, land use limitations, medical marijuana.
