illegitimis nil carborundum welcomes you
A friend recently suggested I offer a service writing consumer complaint letters for people – but as I was IMing with another friend I recalled the Latin phrase about the bastards and one thing led to another and I decided that a blog had more of a chance of reaching more people and become like a class law suit [since we can’t do those as easily anymore.]
And I must admit – my son has often said he is making me a tee shirt that reads: Go Ahead; Fuck With Me!
He thinks I appear as a mild mannered person and no one suspects that I will turn into “super consumer advocate” who can write zinging complaint letters at the drop of a tort – and that I do – and do it well!
I wrote one recently where I asked an accountant to either send me my signed efile permision form or refund me in full or he would be considered as having filed without consent- he did neither! He did not believe me – worse he sent me a partial refund for only the wrongly filed tax return – an admission he erred. The check he sent is on it’s way back to him and a complaint will be filed with the IRS!
That’s what I see for this blog – let’s report the people who are taking advantage of consumers – we have to watch out for each other because the government will no longer help us…
So, Teddy Roosevelt, WHERE ARE YOU? If ever we needed a President “of the people”, we do right now! Not a rich man, not a lawyer, not a self-seeking, bible spouting hypocrite, but a MAN (or WOMAN) who lives in the same world as the rest of the human race. Who cares about the USA and the rest of the world.Maybe Lynn is that person,When she first put the page up I read it and thought, “What have I to complain about? I can’t make comment here.” Over the last few days I’ve come to the realization that though it doesn’t directly effect me, there is much to grouse about. If only to bring it to the fore in other’s minds as much as it is in mine.We have people whom we knew would be in a most dire situation, but were permitted to suffer for days without much needed help. Would you want it to happen to you? Have you any doubt it would if you were in the same situation? This government doesn’t discriminate, it cares little for any American’s situation. It only looks to see what it can take FROM less fortunate people, not what it can do to alleviate their burdens.So, the whole blame belongs to the government, whew, what a relief! Surely WE wouldn’t want to look in the mirror and feel guilty! Bull! Most of us have nothing to brag about, from where I sit, (meaning what I’ve experienced). I see children who have no consideration for anyone else. I see people who would give, but not off their own plates. I see people who don’t even have enough presence of mind to realize that their driving speed is exacerbating a crisis situation.This crisis, right now, is artificial, but in the very near future it will be real. Not just real for the next guy, but for all guys and gals who want to drive vehicles, travel by any means, buy groceries, clothing, you name it. We live in an “oil-driven” world. What do we plan to do without it? And it’s going to be GONE — by the predictions I’ve seen — by 2025. I don’t know about you, but I plan to be alive and functioning by then. So, I figure it affects me as much as the next guy. I want to know when we’re going to smarten up, stop driving 65+ and start coming up with a solution for a problem we can only forestall, not evade.Are we really a country of mushrooms?
