Bank of America dashes the dreams of yet another. . .

Since the day that I found out that there was a judgment against me filled by Bank of America, I have been trying to have it reversed. It seems as though everyone feels that I am in the wrong and owe Bank of America $6K. And, now it seems as though this looming judgment may possibly prevent or make it increasingly difficult for me to return to school in the fall. This would be round 3 of attacks that Bank of America has waged on me since October 13th, the first two being a bank garnishment on accounts that I held at Wachovia- opened because Bank of America closed my accounts with them because I was the victim of check fraud, as well as a wage garnishment. I work part time for a bath and beauty giant and make enough money to just survive- all while living with my parents because I would not be able to support myself on my paycheck alone (which got me into this mess in the first place). I am convinced that Bank of America has no respect for the everyday low to moderate income people that it claims to want to help and serve everyday. I am the epitome of low to moderate income ($12k/yr) and a taxpayer, yet and still they assail me with a lawsuit to squeeze water from this rock. I mentioned being a taxpayer because Bank of America was one of the many institutions that received taxpayer money to BAIL them out after THEY entered into faulty investments!!! They OWE me!!!
I am going to make it my mission to be heard and the message that will go forth will be for all of YOU to divest from Bank of America!!! Close your accounts, cash out your CD's and take them elsewhere!!! Bank of America has to learn that it can not treat customers and people that they are indebted to in any sort of manner.
Bank of America I want this case dropped now!!! Don't have me find others that you all have SCREWED over and bring a CLASS action on you!!!
Think I am kidding?!?!? JUST TRY ME.

Failing School systems lead to frustrated retail associates

The school system has failed us as a people! To most this is not new information but as I continue to work in retail the reality of it's failure becomes more apparent.

I find it more and more difficult to grasp that adults (21 and older- but really anyone over the age of 13) has difficulty with simple mathematical calculations. Trust me when I say simple. . . 90% off of $12.00, 75% off of $10.50, 50% off of $15.00 and the list goes on. I am irked more so by the fact that as a retail associate (aka a retail slave) I take money from people that can hardly add up the prices of all of the items they purchase, and people that work in retail are called STUPID.

However, this should not come as a surprise to me when many of the same customers have a difficulty in reading, CAN NOT read, or are just too flat out LAZY to read. And, I am not talking about reading novels, booklets, or even pamphlets I am talking about 10- 15 words or better yet distinguishing between two words that look alike but ONLY one makes sense for the situation (as well as for the fact that there is a PICTURE of the correct one). For, example $4 oils with the purchase of . . ., Juniper vs Jupiter, Orchid vs Orchard. . .

When do we hold our law makers accountable for the decline of education as we know it? Why is okay for teachers to be among the lowest paid professionals when they hold the GREATEST responsibility for our futures. We complained about the idiocy of our past president, George W. Bush, but what we must realize is that OUR CHILDREN are next!!! Be afraid or FIGHT back.

Talk to your school superintendents, your Mayors, Governors, Councilmen. . . Make them EARN those seats, paychecks, and benefits that they now hold. Make them work for OUR futures.
