Read Zamyatin's "We".
That's no good either.
Actually it's a perfect comparison. Anyone can put stuff on your front porch. They can't take it away or read it, that is using personal property without permission. Hence, people have a -right- to send you mail. They don't have a right to read your mail without permission.

Sorry, your front porch isn't considerd 'trespassable' unless -you- take explicit and particular steps.
don't care what's printed.. It could be blank paper for all I care, but I don't want it on my property. It's litter that I have to deal with.
Then you must put up a sign, does your mailbox have such a sign? In fact your position backs up mine that the current trespass and harassment laws are sufficient to handle this problem. In other words, you shot yourself in your own foot with regard to 'new' law. We don't need it. What we need is the courts to recognize that if we tell somebody to stay away and they don't then an actionable event has taken place. So, we actually agree but you don't see it, yet. -- ____________________________________________________________________ We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
