Don't mean to bust anyones bubbles but...........it really does happen all the time. There are many companies w/ policies expressly designed to deceive/mislead an unwitting public (most would call that lying) and it is a built-in, if not acceptable (?) factor of the system we all live under, capitalism.
Unfortunate but true; The bad rap some companies receive for deceptive practices (and worse) are well deserved in most cases. Seems that some of us will do anything for money :-D
Have you all heard, Corporations are "officially" people now, with all the rights and privileges belonging to all "breathing" American citizens, (except for that going to jail part when they steal/rob or cheat us or our government). Thanks Supreme Court ;)
Apologies for getting off topic here but; This isn't the place for a history lesson and citizens should know the 'truth' isn't taught in our schools (in fact the opposite is largely true), but we are all blessed to live where the truth is widely available to all those seeking it, all we need do is look for ourselves, and limit our desire to follow the leader (loudmouths).
No excuses for ignorance in a free country, right???? :-D
