For a bit of background, first watch this:
Ok, so that breathtakingly stupid woman is a Senator from Arizona. She probably spends all her time finding vortexes in Sedona, but no matter. The really scary part is that she can influence policy discussions.
And look at one argument that video caused on Facebook. I only wish I knew the guy’s name so I could add him as a friend. Way to stick it to the “highly intelligent” lady.
As every member of this group enjoys their billions….ah, there are no women, “his” billions.
Aug 30 Update
I’ve received an acknowledgement letter from RBC, stating that they’ve received my written complaint. It states that Senior Management at RBC will review my case and respond directly to me. If I’m not fully satisfied by their response, I have to re-write them, stating what issues haven’t been dealt with and my anticipated outcomes.
I think my letter above makes it eminently clear what my “anticipated outcome” is. Perhaps years of taking Business Rigmarole courses and spewing out Corporate DoubleSpeak have inhibited their ability to be plain-spoken. I just want my money back. It’s a long weekend, so the earliest I can hope for a call is some time in early September.
I’m not a betting man, but it seems to me that the probability of having to write yet another letter is quite high. What do you feel?
Also, I wish to thank all the people who have left comments and expressed support. I never expected to recieve so many hits or so much support, in my protest against RBC riding roughshod all over me.
Cryptozoo-what? Yes, the “science” of studying such fictional, mythical beasts such as the Loch Ness monster, the Yeti etc…has a real name. I’ve been fascinated by such stuff ever since reading Tintin in Tibet as a kid. In any case, two stories about the Yeti of late have garnered a lot of interest and media attention.
The first:
Was anyone really surprised at this? Like something out of a bad X-files episode, these two yahoos drive out of the Georgian forest with a 1500 lb carcass, gather as much media attention as possible, dump the carcass in the hands of real scientists and then hightail it out of there! Hahaha, look upon the face of deception, kids, it looks something like
The second:
This one seems a bit more promising, if only fractionally so. It has many more sightings, a mysterious footprint and some sort of hair awaiting DNA analysis. However, why is this DNA analysis taking so long? And, why do all three “experts” interviewed in the article have the same last name? How could tales of a Yeti hurt this small community, except by bringing in more tourists and dollars?
Bigfoot hunters are alway quick to cite the coelacanth, discovered in 1938 after having been presumed extinct for millions of years. The odds of something like that occurring again, on land, are so tiny, but try telling that to the Sasquatch seekers.
The bottom line: these cryptids are entertaining to read about, just like ancient mythology or religion, but the minute you start taking them seriously, you risk being labelled a kook.
