Lawry, Please don't join Chris in his denigration of ordinary
people. You know his attitude: “I am not affected by (insert
anything) but we must take care of those who are.” If people buy something they realize they don’t
want (not us of course) they will presumably learn from it. Next time, they
will be more careful and will be the better for it. If they don’t learn, then they can either be
considered children who must be protected, or they can be considered adults who
have the – dare I say God-given – right to handle their own affairs,
whether they do it well or ill. I do know from massive evidence that if you choose the
first, they will remain children and they will become ever more dependent from
thereon. I would argue that those of us who may be somewhat
more aware should concentrate on the goals of We could begin perhaps by defining what we mean by Harry ********************************* 818 352-4141 ********************************* >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >On Behalf Of Lawrence de Bivort >Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 8:19 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [Futurework] Long-Distance Journey of a Fast-Food Order > >Harry, >You fail to understand the power or use made of advertising. > >Cheers, >Lawry > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph Reuss >Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 7:04 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [Futurework] Long-Distance Journey of a Fast-Food Order > >> Brad, old lad, >> >> Call it what you wish.
