Meh. The NRA appears to exist, for yearly members, as an outfit with little more in mind than stuffing their mailboxes with insurance offers.
Yes, I know I can (somehow) get them to cut that out, but the mere fact that they assume that new members are all sufficiently boneheaded to sign up with LifeLock (also sued by several states’ Consumer Affairs divisions) tells me that birds of a feather will usually flock together.
Of course, the NRA isn’t as bad as AARP, and definitely not as bad as Publisher’s Clearing House.
In Futureworld, when all the levels of government get winnowed down to just the basics, I hope that is enough regulatory power left to consign direct-mail marketing to the scrapheap of history.
