As your post points out, the indoctrination begins before birth and continues until we die. Whether it's a tub of margarine, or a stage act like Susan Doyle, the packaging is more important than the content - which is often very inferior, whether margarine or act. Susan Boyle unwittingly served to highlight our own indoctrinations. We've learned to accept a mediocre product in fancy wrapping and falsely promising the earth, but Ms Boyle gave us the exact reverse - a somewhat drab outer but with a wonderful product inside. She's the epitome of every marketing guru's worst nightmare - the dread that one day we may all shun packaging and demand a superior product. <b>Twilight</b> - I hope your husband appreciated it! ;-) Nevin – we, the people, are totally under the control of the corporate structure.

I see we think much alike, though my post is slightly different in flavour from yours, I've said much of what you've written to my husband over past days. :-) Hmmmm – I’d just battered out a piece on Susan myself, after being away for a week and missing much of the fun.
