8. They better but it is still a knife to a gunfight situation. The corporations can throw any kind of
they want. Luckily, they are still in development with the movies, TV shows, and ads that will be much more subtle and many times more effective in sculpting public sentiment in every area. It won't be new exactly but now the concept has been given direction and few boundaries.

The sculpting of sentiment on broad issues is what I think is scary, it isn't so much a candidate versus candidate but the subtle reinvention of worldviews slipped into entertainment, "news", or even in educational programming that is where this stuff gets dangerous.

Who gives a shit about candidates when you can more easily, directly, and deeply create perspective, interpretation of events, and over time history?
