fine print

opt-out

I just saved the world a few pieces of paper a week.

It all started when I read the fine print on one of the many letters I’ve received offering to put me in debt indefinitely (at very competitive rates!) to some corporation that also sells biological weapons to totalitarian regimes who use them against innocent children and ended just moments ago at this website, where I filled out a painless little form and submitted it electronically to get my name (and social insecurity number) out of their filthy hands for five years.

Actually, it continues. It will end when they receive another form I took the trouble (and forty some odd cents) to print and post, securing my freedom from prescreened offers of credit forever.

Forever is a very long time. I hope I don’t need dirty money anytime soon…
