It is hard to believe that its been five years since REALL was founded. Although weve accomplished a lot -- published a monthly newsletter, hosted many speakers and helped to become a force for rationality in Central Illinois and beyond -- theres more to do.You, too, can help. Stay informed about the latest information about paranormal and pseudoscientific issues by reading our newsletter; subscribing or reading magazines such as Skeptical Inquirer and Skeptic or Randis newsletter, Swift; watching critical videos; and participating in REALLs monthly meetings.
But go beyond that -- raise and discuss issues with friends, co-workers and relatives. You can make a difference by taking an active role in providing critical information to those still clinging to irrational thinking. (And dont forget you can always participate in informing others by giving three-month subscriptions to this newsletter for just three bucks!)
Just in case you missed it, Ill leave you chuckling with this recent headline from the State Journal-Register (Feb. 6):
