How Americans Mistreat Americans!

Write an email and notice how all the little do-dads start jumping around across the bottom of the screen to distract you from what you’re doing. Call your doctor’s office and get his office hours for the umpteenth time, times when the clinic closes for lunch, and a reminder that if this is an emergency, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency med place. This unnecessary information can take two or three minutes while your time is limited. Call your doctor’s office with an important question on your mind, get the nurse’s voice mail which tells you she’ll call you back within twenty-four hours. Open a bill that comes in the post and find almost an ounce of extraneous ads, leaving you to put them in the recyc cart. Open more mail and find pale pastel printing on white paper or white on pastel or pale black print on gray. Watch a television program and the commercials are louder. Buy a DVD and wade through numerous commercials there before you see what you want to see. Call your car dealership and suffer through a sales talk of what that dealer can do for your car before you get a human being on the line. Call almost any business or many medical facilities and tell your problem to three persons before you get the right one. Try to find shoes of really narrow widths with a combination last in most states and travel to a big city, especially in the South, to really find them. And more.

Look, if we can get to the moon and back, we can correct all the above.
