Being inundated with the "bigger is better" mentality since birth by the television, newspapers, and endless sea of billboards combined with a complete lack of necessary education to actually make an intelligent choice isn't really freedom either though. I'm all for Darwinism/natural selection thinning the herd as necessary but only on a level playing field, where objective information is just as accessible as a billboard or commercial that's trying to sell you something.
there is more than enough information to make an "intelligent" choice - past, present and future. Furthermore, the endless sea of billboards and so on are exactly what a capitalistic economy is all about. Sadly Ron White was correct when he said, "you can't fix stupid." Now lets steer a new course before the PC snags us both.
