What a nation of victims the US is becoming. Really, are people soooo weak 
they can't say "no thank you" to a sales person. If a person is that much of a 
victim, their life is a mess anyway and GE is unlikely to make it any worse.

"Merciless sales tactics" ???

 "Please Mr. salesman, show some mercy. Please don't make me pull out my 
wallet, give you my credit card, sign the contract in three places, sign the 
credit card slip, and not change my mind for three days (even though I am at 
home out of your grasp).  Pleeeease have mercy on my dumb ass."

What a load of rubbish. IMO.
