"the paperwork will look just like the real"

 practice outline 

Feb. 21, 2024

___________________

I.  The statement, "the paperwork will look just like the real" comes from The Sopranos,  season 1, episode 1. They're explaining to a guy in the medical business how the scam is going to work. 

        Who are the worse crooks?  The medical business / scam, or the Mafia? 

II.  Tony Soprano: "You're born to this shit."

III.  We need to distinguish between when doing a positive thing and giving encouragement  is worthwhile,  and when it's a waste of time and effort. 

IV.  Sometimes we turn a blind eye to problematic  people and activities in order to not see.  Or at least in order to get through the day. 

V.  Do we do the right thing?  Or do we just save ourselves any inconvenience, turn our blind eye, and escape to our other reality, an ice-cream sundae and Facebook?
