>Sorry, JR, but again, straw-man fallacies. It's easy to discredit the low-hanging fruit.
Examples, just examples. My point is that modern wo/man has constant buzz of twitter, txt, headlines and titillation to a ridiculous extent at will so it's no longer easy to distinguish a big ticket item. In the old days they printed the headline in oversize text. In 2015 some dweeb down the road uses the biggest font in town and people are sensitized and barely notice amongst the rest of the busy beeping and messaging noise 24/7.
"... 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
