Love is such a powerful thing,

but it does not move product the way other emotions can.

Love does not get you out to vote.

Love does not make you buy those scented sages.

 

Fear is an extremely powerful way to sell product.

Probably even better than sex.

Sex probably sells best to teens, 20s, and 30 year olds,

but Fear sells to all ages.

 

We therefore have an economy based on the sale of fear.

Commoditized, packaged, and delivered to us.

Is this daily ingestion of American commercialism,

why we let fear keep us all, in our self-imposed cages?
