indiscriminate sales and deceptive promotion of poisonous products is not a right.
giving kids a one-two punch in the mind with ads aimed directly at them in order to poison them isn't a right either.

Billions of advertising dollars are targeted at people who have increasingly diminished ability to discriminate - not because they are somehow deficient but because they live in our society and have been rendered parially or totally mindless. No one seems to want to discuss this, except to toss it off as a ridiculous notion of mine. I have responded they are in denial. I'm waiting for a response.

Sounds like you want to overhaul the US government and advertising systems there...
