In one of his books, the late Robert A. Heinlein had a character observe that
"evangelism consists of beating your words into a man's ears until they come out
of his mouth." That could equally well apply to advertising, which is after all
part of the evangelical apparatus of corporate capitalism...and which could also
be described perfectly well as capitalist mind control.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
