Thanks to Peter for bringing the Give It A Ponder campaign to my attention.
It's so great.
I don't know if it will sell any telephones.
But I do know that it raises issues of the ethics of speech. And deals with it intelligently.
The very existence of this campaign tells us that somewhere, someone cares about what you say.
I'm grateful.
