Daily observations of my simple life.

Here's what I propose. All businesses must have a written statement from the household to call or send solicitation material. If they write  a  letter it can be turned into the post office and it will automatically be prosecuted. With the phone, a set up where when someone calls without permission to solicit there is a button you can push on your phone that will automatically give their number to authorities. Fine them big time,  that should make government happy.  They can advertise on tv, on line, in magazines, newspapers, fairs and the like. Then if they have written permission they can call, write etc. That's what I think should happen, this is such a violation of peoples privacy that should stop.

an elderly attorney i used to work for returned all his junk mail -- "return to sender" -- every last piece of it right back at them.

although i always think about how hard the mail carriers have to work to lug the stuff around. i especially get upset with all the plastic boxes of CD's in them. what a waste.

I did that for about 6 months. I personally wrote to company's sending me mail, regardless they just sent more. Completely ignored my request even though I used my postage to write. They are out of control it needs to stop. What a waste of resources, think about how much energy and resources are used to fund this waste.

I agree, but what about the various police organizations? I often say I'm just going out or ..., but eventually, I tend to send them a bit of money.
