    Yes if you can figure out what is not toxic which is usually newsprint you can compost it. I do like the soy based inks. Slick glossy stuff is not as useful unless I can be sure it's safe.

    If I sell from them I'll explode!

    Even if I just burn the safe junk they send it is a win for the heating bill. They will send it even if I don't ask for it, that I ask for a specific type just means I get more safely burnable stuff and less toxic crap.

    If I steal from my neighbor I'd eventually get shot or jailed. I don't have to steal to be all cozy and warm.

    Oh pray that you never have to go to my post office. It will invariably be extremely crowded and of course it is a package/letter that must be sent USPS and must be hand delivered to the post office for some arcane reason.

    I've also shipped several thousand packages media mail, books, videos, etc.

    Junk mail is marvelous. It pays for my local post office to exist and have enough people to serve us. It is energy in the form of paper which can be burned. By carefully soliciting the right sources I can get enough paper that can be safely burned to provide around 60 percent of my heating needs. I'd heat water with it but have yet to find an effective and efficient means to do so with wood or paper.
    The other benefit is costing advertisers money. Money to pay my friendly postman and money to heat my home. It's a win for me.

    Spammers, I'd burn those too if I could catch them thermally depolymerize them and put the biodiesel in my truck.

    A few points.
    Most organized religions in the US are 501C3 tax exempt

    The gov't has made it possible for people to donate to the church and not have that amount considered as income and for some church activities to not be taxed.

    The church to receives this benefit had to agree to become a corporation and agree to certain rules.
    501C3 tax exemption gags the church from any political speech or act among other restraints.

    Recently the IRS has been granted the power by the supCt to choose what is and is not a tax exempt church corporation for the purposes of 501C3 tax exemption. RE: moon vs IRS

    This applies to any 501C3 organization.

    There are a few religions that are not so organized nor do they beg government for a gag and what is an indirect handout. They do not worship icons nor do they have a fixed structure. The may be better or they may not but they are not US government sanctioned.

    If it were just the commercials I'd be ok. If I could stream it the exact same as I'd watch a VCR recorded TV show I'd be ecstatic. If I could pay them exactly what my set of eyes garner them from the commercials I would as it's far less than what they want to gouge out of me. "CWTV" shuts off the on screen volume control. HULU has several quirks. Both won't let you pause something for more than a brief time.

    I'm to the point that I watch via their broken streaming maybe 4 shows and am going to drop one due to their incoherent and psychotic scheduling and just pick it up as DVDs in the used bin when they cancel the thing.

    I don't own a TV. Last year sometime I had to stay in a Motel and did not have a laptop or smart enough phone so was stuck watching TV.

    I was inundated in all it's excremental glory. During a 1 hr movie I was presented with 20 minutes of commercials from the TV network along with slide ups, drip downs, splats and other crap slathered over top of the show I was trying to watch all the while the cable company had an annoying bar at the bottom harassing me to buy merchandise that had nothing to do with the demographic of the show, was boarder-line pornographic and mostly annoying.

    I'd been TV free for two years. It had been bad when I'd quit but there is no way in hell I'll go back to those one way slimy assholes who think they own my eyes.
