Andrew your thoughts are so interesting and considered.
AND your observation re advertizing is most valid.
I can not help but think that the Government of the day pushes cash in the direction of certain add agencies to keep them onside and sing the praises of the Government (whilst getting cash in their hat).

But it is so hard to say but you need not advertize about something as deadly as cancer..complaining seems almost grumpy..and so the adds of this nature seem reasonable.. however if these matters are only for public safety perhaps the dollars spent would be better placed on buying more Doctors and Teachers ...an old fashion educate and fix approach..but no the politically safe opinion is choosen.
I would like to go back or forward in time to a place where self interest in Government is something that is outlawed and always exposed by the oppositions we elect to do that job.
The add thing goes on and on and each new Government tells how they will fix it...mmm stop the cash and the problems fixed one would think but given the inaction the problem must be sio much greater than we the public can imagine...
I would like to go to a future where we are colonizing other worlds and see how the politics have changed.
