It Just Isn't
Fair
It
just isn't fair!
NOTE
FROM CASS ANDRE, Whoa, there! Just take a deep breath and calm down. Sure Paul, Mary, and Sam have e-readers, but does that make them better than you? Are they cooler? Hip with the times? Better looking? Well, yeah, they kind of are. Bad example. Forget I said it. Try this. Remember what your mother always told you about going along with your friends (that whole jumping off a bridge thing)? I mean, if Paul, Mary, and Sam knew an honest way to make a million dollars, would you do it too? Think about it. If Paul, Mary, and Sam went to Disneyland today, would want to? Be a leader! Not a follower! How about this: Do you really want a gadget that's so simple a five year old could use it? And, for the record, you're not the only one on the face of the earth who doesn't have an e-reader. I swear. There are many others. Millions in fact, who have never even touched an e-reader.I mean, Hitler didn't have an e-reader, did he? I'll bet he never even considered reading electronically. And what about that Napoleon guy? He didn't have an e-reader either, and look how famous he is! What about Satan for that matter? Or Nixon? And he was President of an entire country! Besides, you don't really read that much anyhow. Does anyone really believe all that crap about feeding your mind and expanding your horizons? Sure, people who use them look really cool. And there's something somewhat sexy about a woman holding one. But are we really to believe that people actually read from them? That they actually walk around with one of these gadgets full of dozens of books, teach their children to read faster than the averge child, research on them, and actually like it? Please! There are thousands of peole not reading electronically. Really! They didn't fall for listening to music on tapes or CDs either. Their 8 Tracks work great. They don't believe in such ridiclous things as cordless phones, color TVs, and using signals when they drive. And they're way hip! All right, so you still want to read your e-titles on an e-reader. There's nothing wrong with that at all. So, maybe it's not fair that Paul, Mary, and Sam have one and you don't. Who was it that said "Life's not fair"? No, really...Who said it? Because it's not true. Life should be fair. If you want an e-reader, who the hell is that nameless person to say that you can't have one? (you can bet he doesn't read electronically). And sure, you won't be able to hang out with Hitler, Napoleon, Satan, or Nixon--But, hey, who needs 'em anyhow! Sincerely, |
