It is amazing how someone so naïve can get so old. It's a vicious circle (oxidized fats clogging the brain vessels). Sounds like a hopeful candidate for the Darwin Award. --- > Are you regularly swindled by advertisers?

No. But generally speaking, it is often too late when the damage materializes. > I find advertising useful. I'm surprised you don't. What's the use of advertising, if not to push inferior products on naïve people, and to make liars rich? (The worse the product, the better the advertising -- see M$.) If a product is good, it needs no advertising -- it sells by "mouth propaganda" of satisfied customers. A good health book warned: "Don't buy anything that gets advertised." (The book itself sold out without advertising.) Chris _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
