Okay. Out of frustration I went looking for my Senator.

[7wo7rees]

Majority Whip, Tx, The Honorable Senator John Cornyn.
You all know him, right? When Phil Graham vacated hus position early, he slid John right in.

Well, no one is answering phones in DC office. They have 23 year olds answering phones in Dallas. 1st told they do not know where he is. 3rd call told he is in Cleveland. My question, they could not answer.....

"He is the majority Whip of the Senate. Where is he??"

From the answering machine in DC it was suggested I send a fax. This Senator, when he was Atty General of TX put the company I worked for out of business because the owners refused to write him a 50k check for his senatorial bid. What was the biz? Fax advertising.

Dallas Cowboys paid a million plus fine.

Oh and the last young person I talked with i suggested to her that she might do far better quitting and go to live on a beach somewhere south. Oh and also, read more and go back to school.

Very sorry for being so wicked mean and cynical. At least I did not use any bad words. Thank the gods!

1. Fax advertising is asinine and heinous

using other people's paper, toner and fax machine without their permission to peddle one's wares.

Not to mention tying up their fax machine when they are expecting something important.

2. Sweet. That was it in 2001. I don't know much of it going on

anymore. Heinous, rather extreme.

And so you stand with Cornyn and the rest of lawyers that made a ton of money suing the business owners for sending those terrible ink eating ads across their fax machines in the early days before spam on the intertubes!

3. It was not heinous until the owner of company refused to

give a check for 50k.

So much more...... You don't ever get to know.

Jerry Jones and family, the Bushes, anyone and everyone connected. No CT, just unfortunate facts.

4. Whether they paid money or not

the business model is heinous.

My medical practice used to get 120+ unsolicited faxes each day peddling wares while tying up the fax machine used to send/receive medical reports, lab reports for patients.

Glad you're out of that line of work!

5. Sorry. It got ugly in the end. Everyone started doing it.

120 + a day extreme. California?
We missed the income
Not the pain.
