No real estate leaflets, no junk mail and no bills

Dropping my friend off at home today I noticed that on the letter box there are scratchings.

No real estate leaflets, no junk mail and no bills.

I enquired on the success rate to learn that two out of three is pretty good.

Junk is only junk if you dont want it.

Junk mail pamphlets are a waster of trees and I cant recall the last time I actually bought anything from recieving one. Unsolicited mail. Spam in the mail box. VIRTUAL.

Bills.

We think we dont want them, but really we are paying for services. These are things that make up the fabric of our comfy safe suburban lives.

Hands upon ears, listen to the whinging bastards.... power bills are too big... what? we have to pay for water.....  moan moan middle class suburban moan!

I think that water should be more expensive to stop people using so much of it and that renters should pay for the excess use. Given that the supplies are low low low, people with teenage girls taking 30 minutes showers to shave their legs, armpits and pussy lines should pay through the nose.

Fuckem! We are likely to run out of water this year before the rains come again.

Electricity... well guess what guys and girls, you may be on the skeptics jury deciding on whether the increasing temperatures are due to humans or the natural cycle of our planet, but the fact is, who wants to take a chance.

So maybe these bills are junk and that we should be forced to get rainwater tanks and self generating electricty sources.

But hey, can you afford it? Most of my friends couldn't. If you can, then I reckon you should. It may well come in very handy one day when you least expect it.
