My
blog yesterday expressed concern over the fact that suppliers of
alcohol like suppliers of handguns deeply wish to remain
unaccountable (unanswerable) for the havoc caused by their products.
Hypocritically they strive to sell us on the idea that their products
and our freedoms are inseparable. It is with galling precision that
they market their goods with dewy images far removed from, and the
precise opposite of, their products true effects. The precision of
these obverse messages incessantly overflowing with big lies reveals
well their deepest fears—that one day they will awake to find
glimmering abroad a new perception of their products—one based on
reality rather than fantasy—one that will send them free-falling over
a perceptual cliff. Their acceptance all hangs on a thread, and they
damn-well know it.
