Speaking of 2004, My son got some unsolcitited junk in the mail today. He is 17, and how they got his name and address I do not know.

It is from a outfit called Working Assets Long distance.(more like non-working assses)They claim San francisco as a home.

It says and I paraphrase:.......Dear Friend, Remember Idealism? Well, now there is a way to put it to work in todays more practical world. 1% of your bill is donated to progressive nonprofit groups, AT NO EXTRA CHARGE TO YOU!

You will be donating to causes that really resonate in your life! Peace, Human rights, equality, education, the environment!

Groups like Amnesty International, Chidrens Defense fund, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, Planned Parenthood, Rainforest action network and Doctor without Borders. Not to mention Greenpeace and the ACLU!

PLUS YOU GET A COUPON FOR 12 FREE PINTS OF BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM!

For the idealist, I think you would agree that Working Assets is a truly practical way to make a difference in the world!

LOL! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

THAT kind of tactic os something I'd like to see reined in. I get downright hostile about the kinds of violations of privacy and selling of personal information that gives these losers access to you, not to mention all kinds of other unsolicited crapola peddlars.
