Why are you all making it so complicated. I don't want phone books -- why should I get dozens of them every year that don't even make it into my house? It is not stopping the phone companies from distributing their stinkin' books.Geniusofdespairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105559930040615945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-20389655653658363812010-04-09T08:55:58.536-04:002010-04-09T08:55:58.536-04:00So, M: Now you're advocating regulating the U...So, M: Now you're advocating regulating the US Postal Service delivery to get rid of junk mail.<br /><br />I think you're educated enough to know that the County can't do that. The state regulates the white pages because it is (was) considered a public service. The state doesn't bother with the yellows because it is only commercial advertising and does not constitute a public Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-20486306278505270362010-04-09T08:35:26.100-04:002010-04-09T08:35:26.100-04:00last anon.

This is crazy. I mean, I would rather have the feakin phone book than all the clipper magazine flyers. Why don't we just start fining Kmart and Publix and Winn Dixie.
