This Space for Rent

Undesirable side-effects of getting old.

I turned 50 a couple of months ago, and this had the unfortunate side-effect of meaning that the vast database infrastructure of the parasitic insurance company known as the AARP rolled into action against me and has been barraging me pretty much nonstop with almost daily demands that I give them some of my money so their executives can strip themselves naked and rub it all all over their body.

Disgusting (and it certainly shows just how effective any so-called privacy laws are here in the American Imperium), but this last week it got even worse. I’ve never exchanged any sort of email with those parasites, but I’ve started getting spam (from machines in the rackspace.com address space, of course) whining that the executive suite is getting cold and the board of directors will start to get goosebumps if they can’t rub themselves with my lovely lovely money.

Does the AARP target people who live elsewhere in the world? Canada has become a lot less appealing now that their government is composed of a collection of parties that spend most of their day looking wistfully over their southern border and sighing “I wish we could be just like ☆☆America☆☆”, but if skipping over the border would cut down on the spam it would make up for a lot.

Good news! They give up after awhile. I think I was bombarded with paper spam for about five years. I do still get occassional email spam.
