Something Has Happened

THIS  IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN  COUNTRY!  
We Must  Stop This  Immediately!!!  
Have  you noticed that stairs are getting  steeper  ?   Groceries are heavier  .   And, everything is farther     away.  Yesterday I walked to the corner and  I was dumbfounded to discover how  long      our street  had become! And, you  know, people are less considerate now,  especially the young ones.  They speak in  whispers    all the time!  If you ask them to speak up  they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly  mouthing the same silent  message until  they're red in the face!  What do they  think I am, a lip reader?I also  think they are much younger than I was at the  same age.  On the other hand, people my own  age are so much older than I  am.  I ran into an old friend the other day  and she has aged so much that she  didn't  even recognize me.I got to  thinking about the poor dear while I was combing  my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced  at my own reflection?well,  REALLY NOW  -  even  mirrors are not  made the way they used to be!  Another  thing, everyone drives so fast  these  days!  You're risking life and limb if you  happen to pull onto the freeway in front of  them.  All I can say is, their brakes must  wear out awfully fast, the way I see them  screech and  swerve in my  rear view mirror.Clothing  manufacturers are less  civilized these  days.  Why else would they suddenly start  labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or  20?  Do they think no one notices? The  people who make  bathroom  scales are  pulling the same prank.  Do they think I  actually 'believe' the number I see on that  dial?  HA!  I would never let myself  weigh that much!  Just who do these people  think they're fooling? I'd like  to call up someone in authority to report what's  going on -- but the telephone  company is in on  the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone  books in such small     type that no one could ever find a number in  there!

All I can do is pass along this  warning:WE  ARE UNDER ATTACK! 
Unless  something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone  will have to suffer these awful indignities.  PLEASE  PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS  POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!  PS: I am  sending this to you in a larger font size,  because something has happened to my computer's  fonts - they are smaller than they once  were
