if i had a nickel for every piece of junk mail...

I get a nickel and address labels from PETA about four times a year. I could write and ask to be taken off their list, but I'd get put back on whenever Vegetarian Times or Veggie Life sells a subscriber list to PETA, so I don't bother.

I disagree with PETA's methods. I use the address labels on bills. I consider the nickel my payment for shredding and recycling the materials they mail me. It's really wasteful, the way the keep doing this.

Send me the nickel and I'll use it to help buy a Big Mac. :)

What kinds of pictures are on the labels: cute happy animals or lab rabbits undergoing disturbing procedures?

I basically give $5 - $10 a few times a year to various different charities. I get address labels from every charity they give their lists to in response. The pretty ones I use on letters, the ones with American flags go on bills, and the ones with pictures of Jesus and crosses pretty much don't get used because they look so tacky, I'd be embarassed to use them even on bills!
