American Scofflaw

In a freak accident today on the strip of Harvard, Professor Stephen Walt was crushed to death under a Caterpillar tractor. The incident happened in front of the Kennedy Government Center. A school spokesperson said the land was being cleared for new law student settlements. The Dozer operater, A. Dershowitz, was on loan to The Harvard Defense Forces from another department when the incident occurred. Dershowitz said he did not see Walt jumping up and down in a red vest in front of the tractor nor did he hear his screams of agony

A Tale of BOA Part II

American Scofflaw

At this point, after nearly an hour an twenty minutes on the phone, I lose my cool. I am embarrassed, have essentially shut down a register lane on a Friday night at Best Buy and am obviously the talk of the store both from employees and customers.

I ask to speak to a supervisor and am told that I am speaking to one. I ask to speak to HIS supervisor and am told that's not possible.

Out of desperation I ask again and he says "wait just a moment"

More hold. Ten more minutes. I am fuming. He comes back and excitedly tells me "try it now."

So for the umpteenth time I swipe my card. This time it comes up "authorization code needed"

I relay this to the BoA guy and he says "well, we are making progress"

A few more minutes of hold time later and he comes back with the code and makes my purchase go through.

I have NEVER experienced such shoddy customer service ever. Im sure Im preaching to the choir when I say this, but Monday morning I am cancelling my BoA account, and fellow consumerists - Stay the heck away from Bank of America!

As a side note, after the transaction was completed I said to the supervisor, "So, what if I was say, Donald Trump and wanted to spend 30 grand on something?"

His response, " Well , for Mr Trump we would have made an accommodation ahead of time."

I said "And if I'd decided tonight to buy the $14,999.99 71" plasma TV in here this evening?"

"You wouldn't not have been allowed to do that."

At that point I hung up.

Sheesh!

Fuming, and doing my best to remain calm, the conversation goes like this:

"Let me get this straight - I have an "available" balance of nearly 10 grand in my account?"

"yes sir"

"And its not pending or a deposit waiting to clear, that's my money, confirmed and in your bank?"

"yes sir"

"And you have kept me on the phone for over an hour, asked me multiple times to verify my identity and are satisfied that I am who I say I am?"

"yes sir"

"And you are going to deny me access to MY money?!?!"

"No sir - we are not denying you your money, your're just over your daily limit."

"My daily limit? This isn't a credit card. It's a PLATINUM Visa checkcard. I understand that you have to put limits in for my protection but I need to make this purchase"

"Im sorry theres nothing I can do"

The federal reserve has lost control of inflation. It HAS to keep pouring out new "funny" money or let the banks and mortgage institutions collapse.

The water was so foul-tasting that the troops had to pour kool-aid and other flavorings into it to be able to drink it. Of course, with all that sugar it is less able to deal with dehydration.

Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

The Constitution of the United States does not authorize the government to lie to the people and the Tenth Amendment prohibits the government from arrogating that right to itself. Therefore, the moment the Bush administration lied to the people and to the Congress, they acted unconstitutionally, and illegally. Bush's lies that sent our kids off to be killed and crippled in a war of conquest are not only illegal, they cast doubt on the very legitimacy of a government that failed to act to safeguard the people from those lies.

VOTER FRAUD: If you need it, we got it!

A few days later there was an article in the LA Times stating that voting polls had been misinforming voters how to vote their registered slate who showed up only to find out they apparently were registered incorrectly. (or rather their registrations had OBVIOUSLY been tampered with) The law states that if that occurs, then you are given the voting form you wish to vote (in this case Democrat) and there is a box at the top you punch which states you were registered wrongly. My daughter was NOT told this. It seems there were THOUSANDS in LA County that this happened to, and even when this occurred to my daughter the woman gave the envelope to my daughter and said, “Here, you lick it closed, we’ve had more than a hundred of these today”. That was at ONE polling booth!
