And who could Mark possibly be referring to?  Does he eat cheeseburgers?

Chrome, Dorothy?  I thought it was bronzed.  In fact, I thought it used to
belong to a certain individual on the net who implies that the government
should control our "prurient interests" because it is obvious that *we*
can't.  But he doesn't believe that other "manipulators of emotion", for
example, preachers on the 700 club who show pictures of starving kids and
ask for money, nor anti-abortion people who show pictures of chopped up
fetuses should be regulated in this way.  Even though those preachers
bankrupt little old ladies, and those pictures incite people to throw bombs
at health clinics that may be performing abortions.  Forgive me for bringing
up abortion in this group.  It is not my intention to debate this issue.
I am just bringing up an example of "manipulative" behavior.

I'm afraid it is not enough said.  Nor will it be until people stop trying
to run our lives for us.
