Beep, beep, buzzz,shreink!


There are television commercials for a certain credit that shows people making purchases with the card in a mechanical way and everything is running smooth until someone pulls out cash.Then the machine comes to a grinding halt and resumes after that "horrible" cash purchase.

What arrogance!This big company has decided now that we have become slavish and robotic in the use of their product and boldly telling us we can't do without it.Their product makes the world go round!The marketing and advertising people for this company should be fired.


This commercial is an insult to persons who value their personal freedom and liberty.Have we given up the pillars of our individualism for a feeling of being secured?Are we that fearful of cash that we now must be yoked to credit cards and become cogs in the wheel of consumerism?

It is not a coincidence that most of us live in constant fear.Fear is used by our governments, big business ,media houses and advertisers as a weapon in controlling us. Controlling how we think,our responses , what we buy.

I refuse to exchange my soul and spirit for parts, oil,nuts and bolts.Wake up people!Shake of the shackles of fear.Take back your right to be who you are.If not for yourself do it for the next generation.Stop allowing outside forces to shape who you are. Let change come from within.

Thank you for lending me your screen!
