...we may differ, and that is fine. It is where I stand.

If censoring big alcohol and big tobacco advertising is a good thing, then so is censoring big pharma advertising.

If big pharma advertising should not be censored, then neither should big alcohol or big tobacco advertising.

Yes. I think you might see my dilemma.

Being right and consistent are at odds here.

I think alcohol and tobacco should be able to advertise. And if that is the case, I would have to allow Pharm, even though I find their advertising much more grating and, as you point out, carrying more political baggage to me.

But then I am one of those people who thinks we should be able to carry firearms and weapons (all kinds) openly and without a specific license.
