Aauuugh!

There are times when a person reacts to something and wants to make a really big stand and draw a lot of attention to what he things is a wrong when he has to ask himself: "Is it worth the effort? Is generating a lot of noise about something worth the emotional wounds to self and others?" I was in that situation, just today, a few minutes ago in fact. I decided the answer to that was "no" To me, it's not worth damaging myself emotionally to let certain things bother me, it's not worth the possibility of offending others to publicly berate something just because I can't pay for it online like others can.
Of course, the heat of the moment tends to generate an "it's not fair" sentiment, but every time I think that, or hear someone else say it, I recall the line from Oliver and Company "Fairs are for tourists." and let the feeling go. Some things just aren't worth the stress of worrying about how fair it is for things to cater to credit cards and Paypal accounts. The world needs to open it's eyes and see that there is a customer base who doesn't have access to digital finances. Why is our money not as good as those with good credit? Last I checked my money was greener than that piece of plastic in someone else's wallet, and available right away, no merchant account fees deducted from the store's profits by the bank. I guess logic got lost when the digital revolution came. Sure it's just easier to take credit cards, and Paypal, but is it right not to allow others equal opportunity to purchase the items being sold, just because the company doesn't want to handle snail mail orders. I say no, it's not right, but since I'm just one grain of sand on the beach and can't convince the grains of sand around me to speak out too, there's nothing I can do about it, so I'll just let it go.
But just what on this green and blue earth am I talking about? What product has gotten under my skin this time? Well, since I've decided it wasn't worth the effort to ridicule the product right now, I'm not going to identify it yet. When I can talk without influencing its sales (I don't want to adversely affect those), then I will, but for now, my lips are sealed and my fingers won't do the typing.
