The phrase "truth in advertising" has some interesting twists. The best ads (ie: the most effective) always play on our emotions; sometimes in a cynically manipulative way. But that doesn't mean there's never a good message. One of my faves.
It's good to remember that it's always up to us. No matter what the politicians or other bosses tell us, we make the final decision on what we do - on our own, for ourselves.
It's not much of a war if nobody shows up to fight.
It kinda sucks when a US President pulls people out of harm's way and it's like nobody even notices. I wanted to post something the other day when it was all happening, but I'm just now getting to it.
I guess I can hope there's something positive in this kind of non-reaction - like maybe peace is making a comeback(?), but I think it has more to do with trying to avoid having to take some real responsibility for the war if we can pretend we have more important things on our minds.
