    Law enforcement will use any means possible, no matter how unlawful.

    I propose that we stop using the term 'law enforcement' to refer to those who *rule* by force and miscellaneous coordinated thuggery.

    My experience, and you may check this for yourself on youtube, is that they neither know the law nor attempt to enforce it. Of course, there are exceptions; those aspects of 'the law' which may be used to extract fines or coerce required behaviours, are known in great detail.

  4. I propose that all instances of 'required by law' be replaced by "required to satisfy the whims of a certain section of the population".

    Let's stop pretending that some higher moral authority has decreed a common set of rules known as 'the law' and that they are open to modification in order to correct injustices.

    Isn't there an idea that everyone is connected ? [I seem to recall reading that amongst facebook users, this six is closer to four.]

    If one seeds information / samples of one's product with everyone one knows, this could spread <quite widely> dependent upon the collective will of those involved to spread the news.

    They don't care if you bought your widget. If there were a way to say "I already bought it", one nanosecond later there would be products specifying "I already bought X, for all X"

    Maybe there's more going on than the apparent 'trying to influence your thinking? "

    Maybe there's a "behaviorally analyse each user to see where their limits are in various dimensions" - personality profiling, if you like.

    You're right; every time I see a coke ad I'm reminded of something my doctor told me "the best thing you can do with it is put it into your toilet - it makes great toilet cleaner". Then, when I'm in the store, I'm so grateful that coke-corp have reminded me to avoid their product which is after all a triumph of ad-fu over reality.
