>>So, yes, innocence is gone. Anything touched by advertising is dirty.
"The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time." -- Thomas Jefferson
We need advertizing to know what's available in the market. Oranges on sale this weekend? How would you know?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
