That’s kind of sad if you think about it. IMO, a normal person of average intelligence wouldn’t take information and ads used to support a site on blind faith and as fact. A person of average intelligence would see it then think hmmm, let me do research, and they would look up information on both the for and against, then make an informed decision. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be what is happening. The only thing I can conclude is...there are a lot of people who are living miracles that they can walk and breath at the same time.

Should companies be required to run ads and recommend pages that they feel are misleading or false? Freedom of speech also include freedom not to speak.
