William F. Buckley not among them. But hey, he's just
another liberal pencil-neck elitist wanna-be, right

Let me put it this way... Do you have some other theory to
explain why lots of very smart & capable corporate
executives chose to spend billions of dollars on
advertising? Galbraith's explanation is closest to the mark
so far, but you're welcome to take a swing.

The fact that you have political prejudices against
Galbraith are proof of the stupidity of prejudice, not the
stupidity of Galbraith.
