I was kinda taken back when I was watching Law and Order on TNN and this type of advertisement came up for American Express... maybe it is coincindence, but the show was about a broker who screwed the mob out of a lot of money and then murdered somebody, hows that for targeted ads?
I would justl like to draw your attention to 14 CFR 91.3, sections a and b.
91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.
(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft.
(b) In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency.
The pilot... not the controller is responsible for the aircraft. The pilot can, if he deems necessary disregard any instructions from ATC he believes are unsafe or would put the aircraft at risk. This works whether your IFR or VFR.
The FTC's interpretation of the FTCAct, Section 5:
The Federal Trade Commission Act allows the FTC to act in the interest of all consumers to prevent deceptive and unfair acts or practices. In interpreting Section 5 of the Act, the Commission has determined that a representation, omission or practice is deceptive if it is likely to:
- mislead consumers and - affect consumers' behavior or decisions about the product or service.
In addition, an act or practice is unfair if the injury it causes, or is likely to cause, is:
- substantial - not outweighed by other benefits and not reasonably avoidable.
The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true.
Lots of room for manuvering.. especially anytime the word "resonable" is used. Usually posting a rediculously low price would cause people to rush into your store, then you sell them other things, I know CompUSA was doing this with those 50 packs of blank CD-R media for $9.99 last year, at least they let you buy them for that price when they got you into the store.
of course the media wants war... war would do two things...
1.) increase government spending to support the war machine... with the American economy continuing to slow this could provide the needed stimulus to inflate stocks and bonds
2.) give the media something to do... most media outlets are sensationalists that thrive on misery..
so of course the media wants a war... doesn't matter about who financed who when the Taliban was fighting the solviets.. forget about history too... most americans couldn't tell you who the speaker of the house is, let alone what happened in Afganistan 10 years ago..
