I've stopped catalogs, credit card offers, Val Pak ads, and every other consumer opt-out provision I can find. The Villages magazine and AARP, however, are relentless!
I agree with the bulk mail pricing. But, if you don't want to privitize the Post Office, I think what you are suggesting would effectively put them out of business anyway. Companies that send junk mail are not going to pay first class prices.
