Credit. Um, do I really want this?



I have always been an opponent of the credit system we have in place today. For instance, credit institutions have the right to judge you based on a number, and make decisions that directly affect the life of you and your family. Landlords may refuse to rent to you based on poor scores. Banks may refuse to grant you a bank account if you do not have credit. And now, freescore.com
says that if you have a low credit score, you are less than good looking.
What? So, if I have a score of less than 600, I am perceived as fat, bald and unattractive, while my fellow 'credit score buddies' with a +700 and have a physical appearance resembling Michael Phelps?

People were so horrified in the 40's when Hitler started his campaign against virtually all human rights. Many people couldn't believe that we actually allowed so much disparity to proliferate before our very eyes. Ever hear of 'Eugenics'? It's not mentioned in history classes anymore, but the Third Reich considered people of inferior genetic qualities to be culled, or exterminated, based on little more than physical appearances.

Yet, discrimination continues. The credit system discriminates against people who refuse to play it, buy into it, to be a slave of it. The credit system is modern slavery. The term 'poor nigger' has a new meaning - it means fat, unattractive bald guy with a low credit score.
