I received a phone call from a number I didn't recognize, so I Googled the number. I came across a website where people report calls from telemarketers, bill collectors etc. Here is one dude's comment:
"The company name is Nortech. Their address is 16420 Park Ten Place, Suite 580 - Houston, TX 77084. Phone numbers are (281) 578-6900 - Toll Free: 1-866-NORTECH - Fax: (281) 578-6991. Make a complaint to the FTC each time they call you. It will cost them $1000 per call. If enough of us complain they will be put out of business and someone will do jail time."
I respondent to the poster with:
"That sounds like a wonderful fantasy outcome. This is how it really works. The FCC won't do sh** because, in reality, they are far more worried about YOU and who YOU are taking to, what YOU'RE talking about, then they are about this company. Remember, the FCC is a federal agency. Whoever told you that the government is your friend, that they care about you, and that the little guys or good guys win, fed you a line of bull. The reality is, unless you have amassed a certain amount of wealth or power, you don't matter, and you can't do sh**. No one is paying fines, no business is going to be shut down and no one is going to jail. With the exception of the little guy, of course, if he makes too many waves and they decide to teach him a lesson. Welcome to reality, isn't it great?"
Wow, I have become really, very angry and cynical! For good reason of course, but I was a little shocked by my own response! LOL!
How many of you are as angry as I am? I don't mean about telemarketers, of course.
I mean about where we are as a country. How far we have fallen from where our founding fathers' intended us to be. What our government has done and become, where they have taken us!
Everyday I find myself more disillusioned, sad, and just really pissed off! |
