Aside from the logical argument, the moral argument, selling the product based on TRUE information, should also be considered. The idea that salesmen aren't responsible for what they say or do makes no sense. Disinformation and false advertising, as we see above, are their responsibility to avoid.
I wouldn't want to live in a world where we excuse immoral and unethical practices simply because someone wants to make a buck. I mean, I don't see a reasonable man like you, The_Jazz, thinking that the Haliburton war profiteering is in any way right. I am, of course, not suggesting that what has happened here is on the same scale as Haliburton, but the doing anything for a buck philosophy has serious problems.

Well if you ever have those extra bucks laying about since you obviously have enough, and don't want to get more for you and your daughter, by all means, please foward them to me after you kick up a donation to Halx.
