time, money, and resources. I'm not
going to go buy a new mattress or
get Lasik eye surgery just because
a coupon addressed to "Resident"
ended up in my mailbox. But for all
its shortcomings, junk mail does
have one redeeming quality: it's
flammable! It's almost like some
sort of combustibles fairy (see
artist conception) crept into my mail
at night and left me the gift of fire,
or at least one of the main
ingredients.
