Not all PR is bad - documentaries are PR in and of themselves – take Plastic Nation or The Yes Men Fix the World. Just as some PR is unethical (Union Carbide's treatment of the disaster at Bhopal comes to mind), there are also documentaries that take only one side. In the end, it is all a matter of raising one's consciousness to examine what is real, and doing enough research to determine what fits with your values.

Yes, absolutely. And especially: what we repeat over and over, has greater magic power. Just ask actors who perform live - we are an incredibly superstitious bunch, because we've seen what can happen. A bicycle crash in a play - the performer gets in a bike accident. Two actors pretend to be in love - and voila, they're really in love! It's the same magic power as commercials. May we all wield our magic communication wands for the betterment of all beings! Aho!

I look forward to more. On the point of wanting to hear an opposite view point... here is a quick 2 minute Ted talk that speaks directly to the concept. "Whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear... the opposite may also be true." http://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_weird_or_just_different.html Great post Bill! I look forward to more.
