I need to do something about the junk mail I've been getting on my email account. I don't have a clue how to do anything as my techie left me for the windy city (a moment for sobs here, please) but I need to do something.
It's not that i get ads for the truely tasteless gack... you KNOW what I mean... everything is non-profit or Target and that's nearly the same thing... but it stirs me up
For example Today there's something from "julie" about "No more Katrinas" My response before I hit delete is "don't build on the flood plain, dummie!" I will now spend several minute seething about my good tax money going to the idiots how live below sea level in hurricane territory and expect me to pay for their re-building. So what if it lasted a long time... and is a national land mark? I don't care. I especially don't care about their tourism etc. Or their corruption and mismanagement etc. I do care about the FEMA screwups butthat's it.
Same for the people in Florida. The highes part of the pennisula is what? 90 feet or something. Don't complain to me when your multi-million beachfront property gets swept away and don't expect my to rebuild the levees on the private beaches or re-build your house for the seconf or third or fourth time. Move!
See what I mean?
I get the same sort of a jump start from the constant and continual Planned parenthood ads. I SUPPORT planned parenthood. I only have 2 children. I had them by choice and I support abortion rights. But NARAL and the others spend more emailing me or sending me "petitions" in the mail than I send them in contributions. How does this make sense?
Then there's the Sierra Club... great idea but right now I can't afford the time to go enjoy the big trees and if I give you all any more $$$$ I never will. Beside selective timbering makes sense to me and I'd rather the timber companies had to build actual roads with foundations and less potential erosian to the forest than have those damn loud ATVs runnig around all over polluting the place with noise, gas and yahoos.
Arrrgh!
Thank ghod it's Friday, payday and Iget my haircut this pm.... It's not the haircut it's the shampoo. Hot water and a massage! oh, joy! oh, rapture! oh, why do I have to wait!
