Loved your post, mcc. The part about advertising reminded me of a comment my roommate, Brandon, made yesterday. My other roommate, Chris, and I were commenting on a commercial (the Duracell commercial about a kid whose heart stopped). Brandon likes to watch a lot of TV and he likes movies, too. My point is that he argued against our criticizm on advertising methods by saying, "Commercials are there to get you to buy the product." Then he defended the abundant presence of commercials (oversaturated in my opinion) by saying, "Commercials are there to be funny. I know people who will watch TV just to watch the commercials..."
Ugh! What is this country coming to? We have people who watch are commercials for entertainment!
Maybe we're rebellious sheep. My point is we're not protesting in ways that send a message to congress or to the President (or to the businesses, not that this matters since business is in NO WAY moral!). What we ARE doing is following their laws, doing what we can when we can get away with it, and griping about our liberties that are stripped away. I'm not critisizing you guys, because I appreciate and like your comments. I do, REALLY I DO--keep them up!
But does anyone have any REALISTIC idea of how to stop this restrain on liberty or any others that have already been passed, or will be passed sometime soon?
