No Problem

You say ,"Thank you" and "No problem", the guy says like it might have been a problem if he weren't working there but he is working there and that is his job . What happened to "you're welcome" . People want to be as cool as Miles Davis, aloof ,unresponsive. Most people don't even know who Miles Davis is unless they heard the rock crap he was playing from the mid seventies still the attitude has filtered down to the peons. The Seven Eleven , the drug store , the gas station. It is part of the whole ,let's face it , society is rude,ruder, than any time ever before . People speak openly ,in full voice on the cell phone in the public library.They are too busy to concentrate on driving because there is a call coming in.When not on the phone their car is shaking from the sub-sonics of rap bouncing my car which is twenty feet ahead.You cannot get a human being on the phone to speak of business after you sign up for Internet or your phone as the company offers a robot to take care of your unimportant problem. The companies promising great advantages with their newest browsers on line expect you to wade through a plethora of what they call "Forums" that house a lot more questions just like your but no answers.Is it any wonder that the greed of a capitalist nation has caught up to the economy, in the form of a mirror that says."No problem" but really says , "I don't care ."

Well, we are "Cool" now , we are losing our jobs , our homes , our families, our representatives in congress but we are "Cool".The lobbies that represent big business , Insurance companies, Doctors,Lawyers, Wall Street , and other possible white collar crimes are running this country .The representatives , the elected officials that are supposed to be our lobby are saying "No problem" to their constituency once they are elected and "In" but there is a "problem".The problem might be beyond our abstract means of repairing it .If there is a problem of light being shone on the problem it can be clouded in "Patriotism" or another war front. Questioning the problem becomes "Treason". The change of political parties makes no difference because they are all on the same team and that is not our team.

Hey ! They were supposed to be on our team !
