Just Imagine!
By jim Peters, Fri Dec 9th
Imagine, just for a minute that the real world started operatinglike the Internet does. First, we'd have a choice of two brands of everything. Insteadof dozens or even hundreds as we do now. Want soup, it's eitherbrand A. or brand B. Need a new car, again, A. or B. (feel freeto substitute IE for brand A. and N for brand B.) Sure sounds like things would be simpler, and if things went asthey should, both A. and B. brands would be doing everything intheir power to make their product/services better and lessexpensive then the other guy. WOW! Can you imagine, a gas warover everything. (For those readers who have never experienced agas war, it was when 1 gas station dropped it's price to 40cents per gallon which was 2 cents less than the station acrossthe street. The station across the street then went to 38 cents.This went on until we were buying gas for 20 cents per gallon)
Some other very interesting side effects would also occur. 1. If you received a phone call you hadn't requested, you couldnotify the phone spam police and they would disconnect theoffending callers telephone. 2. If you opened your snail mail box to find anything addressedto occupant you would be entitled to $50.00 per piece ofoffending mail to be paid by your postal delivery person. 3. If your electric utility company decided they weren't makingenough money or they just got tired of being, your utilitycompany, they could, without warning, close there doors and shutoff all their customers leaving them totally in the dark, andwithout recourse. 4. There would be people on every street corner giving away justabout anything you can name, homes, cars, groceries, medicalinsurance, swimming pools, and on and on and on. Of course, ifyou want to live in the house you'll need to purchase the "ProVersion" that actually includes the lot to put it on. If youreally want to enjoy living in that house you might consider the"Super Pro Package" that includes your choice of 12 differentfurniture packages. And then there's the Mega Super Pro Packagethat will locate your house, your lot and the furnishingsoutside, of Siberia. How about that great sounding health insurance that guy in theclown suit is hollering about, it really sounds like somethingwe could use. Well, it sounded good until I needed to use it forsomething besides ingrown toe nail surgery. After I got theabove the neck plugin, the below
the neck upgrade and therespiratory package I was paying $100 a month more for my "freeinsurance" than I was for the insurance I had to buy. Yup, just Imagine!
