After I wrote a still unpublished novel, Alex in Wonderland, I thought I’d tend to my own business, work with clients who wanted what I had to give, and let the rest of the world go by. What happened to make me move my fingers along the keyboard to Blog was the stark notion that we Americans are playing the Blame Game without an end in sight.
I went to Hertz today to rent a car for a few days while my automobile is being serviced. I had to hit more buttons on my cell phone to get service with AAA, which I never got. Nothing is more annoying. All “big pieces of stuff” businesses have turned to robo-dialing to get away from servicing inquiries. Which brings me to the sorest subject in the world for me i.e., technology whose benefits are being overshadowed by the ineptness of the system in place.
