Why not? They're the Post Office. That's what they do, for a price, whether it's a box or a book. The Post Office needs money, YellowPages needs to get phone books out, people don't need litter. Seems perfect to me.
I meant 'shouldn't be forced' and I wanted to add that if they really, really want people to get their ads, they should mail them through the Post Office, instead of dumping them on my lawn or doorstep.
...require that all publishers - advertising and otherwise - get permission before depositing any materials on private property. That would make litter opt-in instead of opt-out.
That's not a free-speech violation. Publishers could publish whatever they live, and stack their phone books, newspapers, and pizza deal advertisements in stores that opt-in, instead of on the doorsteps of everyone else.
In addition, making it opt-in would mean that people don't have to give up their contact information in order to opt-out. I should be forced to choose between giving personally identifiable information to God-knows-who and enduring litter.
On that note, I'm really unsure when it became 'okay' to deposit things on private property...
Re: Parents' consent for their children / acclimatization
Actually, this is the only video I've seen where the parent was allowed to hold in the child. In every other video, they are separated, and I've seen TSA agents yell at parents for trying to comfort their kids.
Keep in mind, Church, that this woman didn't just copy Monica Whoever. She copied everyone, from Paula Dean on. This was not a one-time mistake. Pretty much her entire publication was plagiarized. Has everyone she took from been benefited in a similar manner? Definitely not.
Oh, in addition, this is one of tons of videos on YouTube with the same scenario. An adult touching a child, all over their body, without consent, understanding, or purpose.
It really doesn't matter either way. That child, and every other child who was touched all over their body, was violated. If a schoolteacher did that, they'd be arrested. If TSA does it, it's fine?
Keep in mind that the TSA has never caught a single terrorist, and let several, including the underwear bomber, pass on by. The questions is: Does touching children make us safer? The answer is NO, not under any circumstance.
I hope it does. I'd like to see the outcry when a typical mom-of-three married to a disabled veteran of the USMC, who has neither a passport nor a valid ID with which to enter an airport, is arrested for being logical.
My adorable crying children, the angry veteran husband/dad...

Re: A substitute for the "two minutes hate" in Orwell's "1984".
Out, high priority doesn't mean only priority.
It's okay for women to fight for equal pay in America instead of, or along with, fighting for the right to work in other countries.
It's okay for students to fight for their free speech rights instead of, or along with, fighting for the right to an education in other countries.
And it's okay for people to focus on this instead of, or along with, the terrible excesses of our national security programs.
Deal with it.
