Now, there's a well defined standard for you.  Manipulate someone's feelings
and the government throws you in jail.  Are you serious, Mark.  The Dallas
Cowboy cheerleaders would all be in the clink if you  followed through.
Also, religion is just as personal as sex.  Let's throw all those manipulative
TV preachers in jail.  What have you got against manipulative sex that
you don't have against manipulative violence, religion, advertising,
sentimentality, or anything else for that matter?
