The move to tax Internet sales, clothed as a 'fairness' issue, is the typical 'wolf-in-sheep's-clothing' ploy so often used by governments unwilling to cut expenditures to match revenues.

Advertising isn't about truth or fairness or rationality, but about mobilising deeper and more primitive layers of the human mind.

~Brian Eno

Topics: About Action Agenda Course Devious Discussion Dubious Everyone False Governments Highly Images Intelligence Language Leaks Making Only Our Selected Sell Sure Talking The Only Thing Thing Us Want Weak
