Small print

There are people who are in love with their own voices. They are the politicians and TV people. I watch enough TV to criticize this.

I love to watch congressional committee hearings. Those hearings are fairly entertaining. I love when a congressman puts up a question and there is a time limit on it. They have the tendency tu use up about 75% of the allocated time on themselves making useless speeches and then leave the remaining time for the response which is obviously is not enough. But they just love to hear their own voices. Most of the time the questions are so long that I am not able figure out what the particular question is.

The same goes for TV interviewers. They put for forth a question that is so long and convoluted that the meaning is lost in the packaging. And if the response gets too long or complicated, they just cut in and say well, that is all the time we have.

The other thing is the small print. Did you ever watch these questionable commercials where there are multitude of lines of small print on the screen? They make sure the print is there but they also make sure there is no time allowed to read it. Their contents are all legalese to protect themselves. We, the common people are not privy to what they say. It is nothing but just another way to rip off the naive public. 

This is very similar to the presents or freebies that are offered to us with no charge except shipping and handling (s&h) per each item offered. Just another way to gyp the innocent public.






The questions are longer than the answers
