Thanks for asking Brook, and totally agree with your examples War is sold by persuasion with religion or territory Violent crime - sold a bill of goods Slavery - a belief of the other All these things came from somewhere like Mom locking one in a closet for a year feeding ya under the door. Being sold a bill of goods and not seeing things for what they are.
Agree. Was tempted to make a similar comment, just let it slide that time. I see marketing and advertising more as an inevitable part of the human environment we have created. One which i, to a very large extent, ignore most all of the time.
