How did I end up on the suckers list?
Yes, I contribute to a few organizations. But the way they exchange and sell lists I may just stop altogether.
Thus, I receive solicitations from every possible disease in the world. And today from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Yes, I am sure all of you promote worthy causes but, really! Worse. Even if I decide to, what the hell, will send them $10, this will mean that I am a "live" contact and the solicitations will multiply.
This year I have been keeping a pile of both the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. So far - five from the Red Cross, practically every other week, and 3 from the Salvation Army.
And, no, sending them money will not stop them. No, all of them, including PBS, send a new solicitation with their Thank You.
And the stream increases in April to get in on my "fat tax refund." I don't get a fat tax refund. I watch withholdings and payments to end up even - or close to it.
I have to wonder how the Democratic Party participate in this "exchange."
So am now trying a new approach, especially the ones with "no stamp is necessary." Use red pen and write across - please remove my name from your mailing list and send back. Will see.
OK, end of rant.
Once a DUmmie always a DUmmie.

This has generally been one of Atman's rants.
The guy just doesn't get it; if one doesn't want bothered by soliciting e-mails, then one shouldn't contribute to Democrat candidates and causes. That'd clear up the problem in a hurry, at least for Atman.

Reminds me of something I heard about hobos, how they would leave a mark or code so other hobos would know who the suckers were.

That DUmmy has the hobo mark on his forehead.

I think it can be safely assumed the Rs do this as well. Some (non-political) charities sell their mailing lists. The barely legal "sweepstakes" outfits (I'm not referring to PCH) that prey on seniors do it (can you tell how much I love those insults to parasites?!).

For a bunch of people that claim to be smarter than you and me they don't know jack about how the real world works.

Liberalism.

Not all the time. Sometimes those marks are left by Hobo Hunters as a trap.

Carnival Carnies used to mark their targets with chalk on the back of their shirt/jacket after pretending to give them a friendly pat on the back.
That's where the term "mark" came from.

Why am I not surprised you know that? :-)

Wonder what the direct marketers would pay for a list of all the Andyscam contributors.
