Harry sez...

I've got nuthin' against Indians, some of my best friends are Indians.
That's a load of crap. Any body who resorts to that line is racist.

I've been an ATT Wireless customer for nearly eight years, but not for
long.

ATT Wireless (which is not owned by ATT now but used to be) has
contracted out its customer service department to India.

Next week, I'm going to cancel my ATT Wireless account and pay a $150
penalty for getting out of my contract with that provider.

I have nothing against India or that country's workforce. But I'd rather
the dollars I shell out for services provide incomes for workers on this
continent.

I'm delighted to report that at the local supermarket I frequent, not
only are the self-checkout lanes mostly unused, but that I always hear
customers telling the managers they're NOT going to use self-checkout
because it puts their friends and neighbors who are employed at that
market out of work.

Further, one of our local hospitals apparently was going to ship its
non-emergency radiology interpretation work overseas using electronic
file transfer of some sort. A petitiot drive started up, and enough
signatures were obtained to "convince" the hospital to NOT do that.

You *can* make a difference.
