Following the logic of your argument, however, leads me to think that we are in fact bringing into question the entire advertising and marketing system of the capitalistic world. Who are “these folks” you're referring to? Just people running what you refer to as LGATs or are we referring to all people who advertise and promote products and services?

You see, based on my understanding of your logic, we should be suing and/or attempting to close down just about every business on the planet. Coca Cola, McDonald's, Monsanto, (to name but a few), and even the recent US presidential candidates go to massive lengths to influence people into making certain choices, which are not necessarily (I would suggest it's rarely) in the best interest of the people their marketing is aimed at.

Are we all victims to this?
I can say that I am not. What about you?
Do we need saving from this kind of insidious confrontation to our subconscious mind and desires?
I don't. What about you?

No one is forced to go along to a Byron Katie workshop, in the same way that no one is forced to go to Church on Sundays, or to buy certain products from a particular shop.

So now I am wondering… is it me with the blind spot or is it “the angry co-dependant mob” I speak of?
