[Summit] magazines

[elizabeth kearns]

At your house, you can choose to not answer the door.
You can also say, 'No.' to a solicitor.
I don't need magazines, so I got a subscription sent to the Walter  
Reed Hospital.

It's too bad when an eager door knock at the end of a long day  
qualifies for a call to the police &
when cynicism trumps compassion
