Reading

I have a hard enough time reading and comprehending finished text. Now we have an editor's copy with all sorts of red hash marks and corrections? Ideas are like advice. They are neither good, nor bad, until you try to use them. As the old saying goes: "Necessity is the mother of invention" and there are a lot of people that have imagined greater things because there was a necessity in their lives (or world around them). After that, it becomes a power struggle to sway the minds of other people into feeling (or knowing) that there is a need in their life as well. This is the power of persuasion (advertising) and when you throw a lot of money at it (the persuading) mindless sheep will follow. The American public has proven itself time and time again that they will buy almost anything...if it is advertised right.
