Do you know of any companies that said “sorry” to the public… when they weren’t getting sued for something? For instance, like Microsoft apologizing to the public with a statement “we are sorry for the troubles we’ve caused you,” and then gave you something to prove it… like Windows 7 for free? Not that that’s actually happening- in fact they’re selling Windows 7 for a little cheaper for a limited time, but it wasn’t an apology, it was a sales tactic. How about the government? What would we do if Congress publicly apologized to citizens for misrepresenting them? I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I probably wouldn’t do anything since it’s still so disconnected with my everyday life, but has it happened? I know they’ve “served us,” but have they ever apologized to us for something they did wrong?
