Even if you don't agree with 98% of scientist around the world, there are still other factors that would suggest a move away from big oil monopolizing the worlds energy consumption. Clean air and good health correlate. Our national security is greatly impacted by the hands of foriegn oil cartels, and the future of alternative energy and better technologies are being delayed by the very people who have the most to lose if these new initiatives took off and improved our way of life.
Very interesting, nice presentation. I've studied Marketing for 5 years, and I must say I found many parts of the business very disgusting and cruel to consumers.
It is wonderful to know we can all share our views freely. That is democracy. Also, a part of democracy is realizing that this past November the people of the state elected these officials based on their platform. Spending cuts always hurt. Cutting government spending either eliminates jobs or changes the pay structure. That is just how it is. In any case, we can't keep spending money we don't have. It is time for our public SERVANTS to make a sacrifice and contribute like most of the rest of us have to do for our pensions and health insurance. If we don't make the hard choices now, we won't have the money to pay ANY teachers or firefighters in the future.
I'm really not in on it, though; I don't waste my money on crap like power bracelets in the first place.
See, one reason there's a market for lawsuits like this one in this country is that our "take everything you have" government lacks the initiative and the guts to go after big-money scammers on it own. Australia seems to do a bit better in that regard, even if the penalty handed down in the Power Balance case was just a slap on the wrist.
...go try locking everyone up selling a fortune cookie."
Bad analogy. Fortune cookies come with the meal and no one takes them seriously anyway. The Power Balance pitch, however, is deliberately crafted to mislead and deceive and part credulous people from their money.
There's no reason to sell the bracelet with a pitch like that one -- the biggest steaming pile of crap I've ever seen, BTW -- if the sellers don't expect to sell more bracelets and make more money with it than they would without it. So it really doesn't matter how many people bought a bracelet only because they think it looks cool; the ones who were influenced by that pitch were SCAMMED. As you just admitted when you said,
Poor, poor baby. You bought a 4.95 bracelet and it didn't heal you."
Never give a sucker an even break, in other words. I hope y-- ...excuse me, THOSE guys...I hope they get taken to the cleaners.

Made my morning to hear it. :-)
