Just So You Know I Know

To the ice cream makers:  I know that your 2 quart container was downsized to 1.34 quarts, and then to 1.5.  I still buy your ice cream, but I know I am getting less. This is not because you worry about my weight.

To potato chip and cracker makers:  I know that all that extra air in the package is to increase profits, not decrease breakage.

To the city transit bus my tax dollars support:  I know the difference between paint and passengers. The number of passengers did not magically triple when you painted over the windows.

To hybrid owners:  I know your "green" car battery was built with toxic chemicals by underpaid "expendable" foreigners and with the carbon footprint of volcano farts.

To environmentalists:  I know that the products you use to live off the grid were made by the people you are trying to prevent from making a living off the land.

To groups sending surveys:  I know you only value my opinion when it is written on a check.

To charities:  If wealthy supporters have promised matching funds, I know you do not need mine.

To OSHA and HIPPA nazis:  I know you are not trying to protect my safety or privacy, you are trying to protect your jobs.

To those contingency lawyers who advertise on TV:  I know the only financial needs you care about are your own. But then, everybody knows that.

To the ACLU and other anti-Christian activists:  I know the future that awaits you. Good luck with that.

I know that writing this won't help or change these situations, I just want them to know I know.
