Specifically, advertising needs to be prohibited from all situations...

Let's complete the job and prohibit all speech. I mean, what the hell, right? It's all just a bunch of noise. I demand silence!

I guess they will have to outlaw pillows or rolling up your sweater to use as a headrest.

3D or implementation? I want to see Wimbledon in a hologram, played on my coffee table.

Not a hunch... Voting records. 98% of you people believe the bullshit and elect criminals into office. That, sir, is evidence, not a 'hunch'.

It's no more harmful than advertising and political campaigns/propaganda. Take that as you wish.

It produces no more CO2 than it absorbed while the plant was growing.

No, it's nothing like that. I'm only talking about the power of the old 'cult of personality'. Obama was the perfect choice, covers all bases. He is untouchable.

A fly landed on the antenna.

They don't need plausible deniability anymore. Everything can be done out in the open now, and nobody is going to stop them.

Besides which, various PR nonsense is a big part of what the state department does; it's sort of the marketing/sales department of the U.S. government.

Yes, they're bumping into the commerce department's turf. I'm surprise there isn't a big battle there. And Hillary should get an award for the amount of money she moved. An heroic job she did.

Personally, I don't mind them spending money on propaganda, horrific as it is. Words are just words. The scary part is that there are people who believe it, and act on it. That's where the danger lies and where our attention should focus.

Yep. It's even stronger than the Reagan worship. I think Hitchcock (maybe it was Steven King) wrote a film on the phenomenon. Hollywood fiction isn't so fictional.

You can't go wrong with Seamonkey. More comfortable than a pair of old jeans. Accept no substitute.

You are free to agree, or not. That is liberty. The freedom to choose. But there there is no system that has any right to impose itself upon me. It has no right to prohibit or compel anything. Its sole purpose is to ensure that all interactions are consensual.

It's just bad for business. Ain't gonna happen.

Is that what happened? Well damn, let's just send everybody home then..
