I don't have a problem with adults making their own decisions, so long 
as those decisions are made from an informed perspective.  That doesn't 
happen if the consumer doesn't know what questions deserve an 
informative answer, and you don't usually get that from the same company 
offering the service that creates the need for questions.  Companies 
that intentionally take advantage of this "info gap" are the scourge of 
business and have earned the privilege of being obliterated from 
existence regardless of any other benefits they provide to the economy - 
their replacement will be offered the same op****tunities to conduct 
themselves in an honest manner - or they're next.
