Lower Township - The best way to understand the times is to "follow the money," as the saying goes, specifically the commercial money of advertising. Advertising targets its audience and spends billions to unleash a message. The message is "our product will make you ordinary" and to "follow the herd." When have the masses been right? Is it better to follow the subtle or obvious message, or to use individual judgement? Conforming is the message for the masses, and a driving byproduct of the technology revolution. Think therefore I am. Sorry, I will blindly follow rather than lead.
