Taking a cue from another LJ friend...
Apr. 8th, 2003 06:29 pmDear AOL/Time Warner:
I realize that you are a mega-corporation concerned only with the domination of all media markets, making tons of money by manipulation of stock prices, and covering executive ass. I would request, however, than when you are in the business of mailing TRASH to every house in America even knowing that far less than 1% of people will install your stupid software, much less actually subscribe to AOL, *please* make it recyclable. Sending a solid metal case for your CD instead of a recyclable paper jacket is totally irresponsible. Better yet, don't mail CDs in the first damn place which contain toxic materials and simply assume the majority of people who don't use AOL aren't remotely interested in a sanitized version of the Internet. AOL users will have it installed on their pre-packaged PC already.
