You can have anonymity in the city. Small towns you have to work at staying out of the rumor mill and gossipy crap that goes on. I've lived in both and enjoyed both.

Is advertising immoral?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 14, 2018:

Advertising was my career before I switched careers to play music. To me it is only immoral when you advertise a product that could or would harm someone if they use it, cigarettes for example without a warning in your ads. It would be very difficult to have a business without a way to let people know about your business or product. Capitalism couldn't exist without it. If you don't like capitalism then I could see why you would feel that way.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 13, 2018:

I think a lot of people still go to church for the same reasons they did in the fifties. In small towns you could be ostracized, even have people not support your business. I have always had the feeling a number of church goers are there becuase they need reinforcement that what they believe is true, becuase they have doubts about the whole thing. Then there are those who are there for the social aspect. They just haven't found the right bar.
