Hello Amy

I enjoyed your blog. May I add some of my own "IT is not Fair" lines?

...that we pay more for carrying designer names splayed across our chest while providing them with free advertising.

...that someone else receives payment for selling our personal shopping information.

...that the credit cards charge large late fees and interest on money owed to them - but our refunds from them are interest free.

...that new cable customers receive 3 months free, while a good 10 year customer receives nothing - not even a postage paid envelope to mail their payment.

...that SBC calls me after I cancelled their service with a lower rate.
