 "Get real. The [irresistible] Entertainment isn't candy or beer . . . You can't compare this kind of insidious enslaving process to your little cases of sugar and soup." --p. 430
Changed:
<
<		Freedom from; freedom to. If the heralded absoluteness of American freedom exists as an entirely singular dimension of freedom-from, the tension can be cut with a plastic spoon. Get American or get real. Get to them while they're young, one might say, because a prevailing attitude says that only children need protection. "Adults" in America have a right to encounter infinite seduction and, if they so choose to indulge, the fruits of any and all insidious pleasures?

>		Freedom from; freedom to. Freedom from government-induced extinction of those joyfully enslaving McDonald? 's jingles, 3am get-rich-quick advertisements, and creepily strategic facebook ads. Versus freedom to live one's adult life without excessive temptation -- a kind of autonomy via elimination of coercion. If the heralded absoluteness of American freedom, at least for adults, exists as an entirely singular dimension of freedom-from, the tension can be cut with a plastic spoon. Get American or get real. Get to them while they're young, one might say, because a prevailing attitude says that only children need protection. "Adults" in America have a right to encounter infinite seduction and, if they so choose to indulge, the fruits of any and all insidious pleasures?
