Chase is bad for the environment!

For several months now, I have received dozens of letters from Chase asking me to accept one of their credit cards. I have always declined, but that didn't stop the letters. Last month, I called chase at their 1-800 number and demanded they take me off their mailing list; stating to the receptionist that their constant paper letters were destroying millions of trees, and as an environmentalist myself I can't stomach the fact that they keep sending me unwanted junk mail.

She said Chase would take me off the mailing list and I would stop receiving letters from them. Since that time, I have received three (3) more letters from them asking to accept their credit card.

If any environmentalists out there are reading this, and have a Chase credit card, I urge you to cancel it as a protest of what they're doing to the planet. We can not allow companies to continue to abuse mother nature like this. These companies are a parasite to the planet and we must put an end to it.

UPDATE:

Since I first posted this, they have sent me more. Now I have a total of 6 letters that arrived after I called them asking for them to stop.

Sony Handycam HDR-XR550V

Recently I purchased the Sony Handycam HDR-XR550V and these are my findings.

Pros:

• High quality video


• High quality still photos


• Internal hard disk drive, means no switching tapes


• Can use MemoryStick Pro Duo or SD memory cards


• Manual focus knob


• Small size

Cons:

• LCD touch screen still could use improvement


• I don't like that it turns on the moment you open the LCD panel


• No Firewire port, USB is much slower than Firewire for data transfer


• The GPS geotagging is limited to working only with the Sony software, which does NOT work with Macintosh. Geotagged photos are NOT recognized by iPhoto's "places" feature. Sony should have used real geotagging technology, instead of their proprietary geotagging which requires their proprietary software!


• The stupid thing is Sony took the time to include a Mac version of the Product Registration but NOT the software on the disk included with this camera.


• Doesn't include an HTMI cable, these things are cheap enough to supply one of Sony wanted to. I can buy an HTMI cable online for around $2-$3.

Heartgard doesn't work

My dog has been taking Heartgard well over a year, this medication is supposed to prevent a variety of parasites, including roundworm. While my dog was on Heartgard, he contracted roundworm. Heartgard failed to prevent this from happening.

In the company's defense, they are offering to pay for the treatments made by the vet in order to remove the roundworm from my dog. However, this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

I pray that whoever reads this, does more research into the various prevention medicines out there for their pets, before deciding on one that doesn't work. The last thing any pet owner would want, is for something bad to happen to their beloved animal(s).
