I found these in a Newsweek article entitled "Care Tactics." Newsweek argue that these posters "might seem as outlandish as, well, life without the internet"stating that the only way to reach people now is through online chat rooms or support groups. No, sir, not true. If saw these posted around town, they would stop me in my tracks.
