It's not any different than the marketing that companies on the other side of these bills use to get public support for them. It's a game of lies and honesty doesn't pay.

I'm just glad to be using a company that is consistently (thus far) on the right side of this issue.

My 13 year old son, who is not exactly a lodestar of ethical and moral judgement at this point in his development, understands intuitively that other people's lies do not actually build a space for him to comfortably fill with his own lies.

If you think I'm approving of the practice, you're wrong.

They're doing it though because it works and because there is no likelihood that they will actually be held accountable in a way that affects their bottom line.

We're talking about marketing here. Truth has no place in marketing. If your truth has any impact, you wouldn't need to market.
