Whimsical thought…

Isn’t it too bad that Coca Cola stopped making Surge five years ago?

In marketing, timing is everything.

    Number one, I feel it apropriate to point out that my theory has yet to be disproven… the one that the present POTUS’s present popularity, and lack thereof, is linked to the amount of Conservative principles he wraps himself around.

    As for “policy”… “send more soldiers” isn’t really a policy or a strategy so much as it is a military tradition… part and parcel of the concept of “overwelming force”.

    Number two, I don’t have a trustworthy source telling me that the idea of sending more training warpeople is a vastly widespread unpopular one.

    Number three, if public opinion of civilians becomes a deciding factor for the use and dispensation of the services that warpeople offer us, then we are royally screwed. The right thing to do is never a dependent of a popularity contest.

    Number four is to Hutch: I liked Surge but that particular attempt of the Coca Cola Company (attempt #2) to have a green pop was unpopular. How prophetic.

    The third attempt appears to have some lasting impact. The first attempt is Mello Yellow, tastes more like Mountain Dew, and is underpromoted.

    and what agencies are the majority of the institutions describing the surge, what it would be, and how effective it may be?

    What are the biases of these agencies?

    It’s very easy to get people to not like a policy when the majority of their sources, news agencies, are entities whom just finished disparaging the very idea.

    And I have never head of “military city” so thank you I don’t think I’ll drink your kool aid.

    No Kool-Aid here, just simple, unvarnished, and verified truth. I suppose it’s easier to fulminate about imaginary biases than deal with facts, or do something as difficult as clicking a URL like http://www.militarycity.com/polls/2006_main.php .
