What Do You Do Under Protest?

What do you do under protest?  We had a contract with a company to do business for us.  They substantially raised their rates, we believe the rates are now too high.  We paid them under protest, we plan to move to a different company soon.  We all hate to be "ripped off". Even if there is a market value, at some point we just can't take it anymore.  I am almost ready to give up our home phone number, it's just not necessary to me.

"Oh We're Not Gonna Take It

no, We Ain't Gonna Take It

oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore

we've Got The Right To Choose And

there Ain't No Way We'll Lose It

this Is Our Life, This Is Our Song

we'll Fight The Powers That Be Just

don't Pick Our Destiny 'cause

you Don't Know Us, You Don't Belong

oh We're Not Gonna Take It

no, We Ain't Gonna Take It

oh We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore"

Who is the band "Twisted Sister", Mr. Trebek?  Do you sing along to the song at the concert but go home and forget to make changes in your life?

Have you heard the story of the frog in the pot of water, not realizing he will be boiled if he stays in the pot, because he was getting used to discomfort?  According to snopes.com it's not true, but it is a good story!!  We all have the power to speak up or take our business elsewhere.  So many people don't bother to make easy changes that will save them money and reduce their stress.

Do you have your list of things that bother you done yet (Mental Detox blog entry)?  Of course, sometimes, we have to accept things we cannot change, shout out to the Serenity Prayer!!  But let's do our best to change the things we can.  Because we can, it's possible, and it's empowering!!

Have a great day!
