"Can't read through" or "Don't read through"? If they don't have the ability to read the contract wouldn't it make sense to provide better education, training and or services to help people understand the contract? If they are simply too lazy to do the work to protect themself and read a contract why is it anyone's problem but their own? |
Even if you DO read the contract, its not like you can call them up and tell them to change the terms. They will just tell you no.
And, not surprisingly, most credit card companies use almost identical contracts in terms of how favorably they draft the contracts to protect themselves, so you don't even have meaningful alternatives.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
