Can't sit still that long unless it's Civil War related.Just finished watching the entire video. Very interesting to see and hear some things from a few different sources and perspectives. It does not contain anything that is necessarily new information, but it does outline the scope of how advertising (commercial and otherwise) is force fed to the American public to make us think this or that, buy this product, or believe in certain ideologies.
