    I don’t know how anyone watches live news with all the drug ads

    Somehow they’ve managed to convince people it’s normal to waste countless hours of their life listening to someone else tell them what they need to buy so they can be happy and fulfilled. We’re bombarded by it. Radio, TV, internet, social media, busses, billboards, flyers, junk mail, email spam. It’s everywhere. It completely pervades our society and lives. It’s pervasive and it’s anything but normal.

    It’s a sign of a seriously sick culture, and somehow we’ve all become brainwashed and numb to its harmful effects.
