: : See marketing has so enmeshed itself in our popular consciousness that advertising gimmicks are now international cultural symbols. Does this disturb anyone else?

: things that DO disturb me:

: -Christina Aguilera
: -the way so many people just take Oprah's word for it
: -blaming every problem on the evil, patriarchal dictatorship of the west
: -the abuse of the terms 'love' and 'hate'
: -men's 'health?' magazines
: -Martha Stewart
: -trusting latex too much
: -Eminem
: -instant 'media enforced' patriotism
: -inclusive language (even Madeleine L'Engle warns against this)
: -most books which are labeled 'spirituality' or 'healing'
: -eroticism as entertainment
: -the persistence of diversions
: -the lack of MUSIC on MTV (MUSIC TELEVISION)

let me add:
tolerance to the point of stupidity
Brittany Spears as a role model for little girls
children being murdered, abandoned, and abused by their own parents and others.
the term "self-help"
"sex" education in schools (I am not talking about basic human reproductive education)
fast-paced life
media glorifying war
cats who climb christmas trees
the abundance of commercials on cable TV
