Re: the consumer as pathological idiot (4.00 / 3)

Punishing the Gas Guzzlers: Brussels Plans Crackdown on Car Advertising - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

From breakfast cereal to Coca-Cola, everything is being classified as being either good or bad for citizens, who apparently have lost the ability to make that judgment on their own.

If only citizens were also allowed to make that judgement about 'reform' and financial policy.

Or does SPIEGEL ONLINE believe that's different?
