Nobody could so brilliantly illustrate something without possessing a keen understanding of it.
I mentioned none of those things; you're trying to distort my words, as usual. I talked solely about false advertising, making false claims about medical matters for the purposes of enhancing sales.
For over a century, regulation of advertising, especially bearing on medicine and health, has been uncontroversial because it's so clearly reasonable and necessary. And because it's so obviously supportive of a free market, which depends on transparency and honesty to function at optimum efficiency. (You do know that's why they call it "free", right? It's not just some jingoism, it's a technical term.)
Speaking of jingoism, you're literally outdoing yourself; I mean, literally:
The word “regulate” stopped meaning what it was intended to mean a long time ago. Right now it’s just a synonym for “control.”
Sometimes you crack me up, Tom...
reg·u·late
/ˈregyəˌlāt/
Verb
Control or maintain the rate or speed of (a machine or process) so that it operates properly.
Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations.
(from google "define:regulate"; who knows where they got it?
The meaning of the word regulate hasn't changed, including the key provision "...so that it operates properly", as in "free markets".
What's changed is the increasingly shrill irrationality of the right.
