I admit to having connected some fairly wide-ranging topics together, but by the time I'd finished writing, I had persuaded myself that it was true! ;-)<br /><br />You raised a potentially fruitful Marxist critique which would certainly help to connect the dots. Thank you very much! I may explore that idea further in comparing the strange disconnects between perfume and tea, despite their many similarities.Marketing context appears to be key. (Have you ever seen such a thing as a "celebrity tea"?) <br /><br />Happy Holidays and best wishes for a splendid 2014! xxxooosherapophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116821928196122529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106815346229702986.post-49598938782928979102013-12-23T23:48:39.137-08:002013-12-23T23:48:39.137-08:00Wonderful article Shera!!

For consumerism of any kind to flourish, whether it be anything from religion to perfume, the masses need to be enslaved and kept in line. The simplest way to do that is by inciting fear and by keeping the populace uneducated. Luckily there are still free thinkers out there willing to put their ideas out for perusal!!
