Greg, You have no idea what companies try to do to the elderly, and especially a elderly woman.
A rather odd thing happened the other day, most of the gas stations here are run my middle easterners, and every time I come in contact with one. They refuse to respond to my questions or my problem.
Last week I stop to get gas and my car requires 92%, I failed to verify the station had 92% before I put my money in the ATM. I started looking for the 92%, and a very nice black man said, "I don't believe they carry 92%." and I said, but I have already paid for it." I then went inside to tell the man (a man from the middle east) and he was refusing to give me back my money. Unbeknown to me the nice man who was talking to me was standing behind me, and came to my rescue, and told the man the same thing I had just told him and said I think you should give this lady her money. He did without saying another word to me. I thanked both men and the middle east man never responded. The other gentleman said "My pleasure."
When I got home I was watching a special on Tony Guen, and then realized who the nice man was. He deserves every award he receives. Now I really admire him.
I started this post for another reason, i wanted to respond to your post.
Here it is. Another great man.
"It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere
above all earthly kings. ... Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things, which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the
worst, and to provide for it. Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. ...Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

(1736-1799) US Founding Father
