Oh, come now. How is this different from commercials you see that tout
BMW: "the ultimate driving machine", all the weight-loss ads touting "I lost 100+ lbs" when the before after pcitures are clearly two different people, or those rich dad/poor dad "self improvement seminars" touted by robert k or donald trump.
It's about personal responsibility, due diligence, and buyer beware, which appears to be lacking in america these days. Granted those walkin realtors are really annoying, no one's holding you at gunpoint to buy a house, and if you didn't want to talk to a complete stranger, you shouldn't have opened the door to random marketers.
As far as spitting in his face, yeah that would have worked real well. You would have supplemented his income as well as probably some personal injury attorney for god knows what. We do live in sue happy CA. Not to mention it's considered assault/battery in some areas, and since you would have done this on someone considered a minority, it could have been interpreted as a hate crime.
And pssss….haven't you heard, carmel valley is holding value. </sarcasm>
