Kia ora mikesears'

Fantastic, honesty! So this is a market strategy by the promoters of American Football. Just as Bush used a 'market strategy' to sell going to war against Iraqi based on getting those world threatening 'Weopons of Mass Destruction'!

In NZ we all wore wry smiles when we heard Bush's rhetoric about attacking the terroist Iraqis...same 'market strategy' we heard against the Afghans...Africans...Vietnamese...yet the American public were still duped.The analogy of A-ball and A-society as mirror images can be seen clearly in this light.

Is there anyway that the American public can get itself out of propping up the arms industry? In NZ the figure we're hearing is that $2,000,000 A MINUTE is spent by Americans on 'arms'.Ofcourse the 'marketers' continually have to create situations to perpetuate the use of arms...and poor American taxpayers are being stressed to the max with the market strategy whereby they're continually bombarded with the fear of needing to contain world outbreaks by terroists - really they should be looking at their own industrialists and their terroist actions.

I digress...Honest mikesears...can you tell us of any other 'market strategies' that the promoters of American Football use? we have also heard that the players have their heights and weights 'boosted' considerably to impress the public?

regards as always
