To me, these are the same thing. To me, `trying to sell a product' *is* pretty much the same as brainwashing, especially in a political application like this where everyone always assumes that you're trying to shove your ideology down their throats. Either way it implies forcing something upon someone who doesn't want it forced on them. > i should certainly hope so. catholicism is way more deserving of the uproar > than marxism. Alright then. Speaking as a Catholic ... how about substituting `women' for Marxism ?
