Also, I think we really underestimate the power of marketing and advertising. I don't know if it's because we're all swimming in it so much, or if it's because we all overestimate our ability to not be swayed by it (probably a little of both plus other things I'm missing), but marketing and advertising are power. To the extent you can wield them, you can wield power. Advertising doesn't always work as intended, but it's difficult to defeat something that wields it or has wielded it effectively.
