That's fine Jim (rocking the boat), but distorting the truth (lying?) and
promoting fear and bullshit is in my opinion wrong (unethical?).
Further, do you acknowledge they could be shooting themselves in both
feet? If they get caught trying to foist bullshit onto the public then
people might just stop sending in those donations.
Also why is it okay for G'peace to essentially mis-represent the truth for
funding purposes, but EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL when a corporation wants to make
profit off of selling something people want?
