Bad Rap: Political Correctness
2007-04-28 22:58:00 Originally published in a Disability Rights newsletter, Spring 2007Growing up I had a cousin nicknamed “Butchie” or “Butchie Baby”. As he grew into adulthood, he asked us to call him by his name, August or Auggie. It was a difficult transition for all of us. Decades later, some still fall back to the old name.

Dont get me wrong, there are some out there that will lie and cheat to sell a car, but there are many more that would not tell a lie if their job depended on it.How do you know, as a customer, if you got a good deal or if you were ripped off? I believe that a "good deal" is just a perception that we have placed on a transaction. It is a good deal if we like the car and was given all the information that we need to make an intelligent buying decision. It is always someone else that tells you that you did not get a good deal. When I was selling, I had customers tell me that profit was not a dirty word. They did not mind paying me a profit because I gave them all the information that they needed ... |
