This is AMERICA, and the language here is
ENGLISH -- and I shouldn't have to TELL THEM THAT. This is America, where citizens don't want to learn anything anymore, not another language, not enough mathematics to add a hamburger and fries without a computer, not world geography or culture, where weather reports have all but become smiley faces and frowney faces because nobody knows or cares what an isobar is, where from day one people are taught to "feel good" about their underachievement, and where people expect fifty dollars an hour to attach bolts on an assembly line when someone in China will do for fifty cents and be grateful for the opportunity. And we have the audacity to be indignant. For every million shoppers who must spend an average of 3 seconds (probably far longer) trying to figure out which button to push (Spanish or English), that is 34.7 DAYS spent wasting everyone's time in line, making a stupid, unnecessary choice. (1,000,000 x 3 seconds = 3,000,000 seconds divided by 60 = 50,000 minutes divided by 60 = 833.33 hours divided by 24 = 34.7 days) The choice is unnecessary to =you= because =you= believe it should be arranged for =your= comfort and convenience. What about "paper or plastic" (or skip the bag, If I need a bag to hold a roll of film while I walk to the car I shouldn't be shopping), "cash or credit", "credit or debit", "would you like fries with that", and "your call is important to us". You're on the wrong boat. Jose -- Quantum Mechanics is like this: God =does= play dice with the universe, except there's no God, and there's no dice. And maybe there's no universe. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
