I don't automatically get Cosmopolitan by joining a family sporting 
organization, either.  Just because some folks choose to read such stuff or 
leave it lying around for their kids doesn't mean that the rest of us have 
to.  And the kids in this organization are members in their own right--a few 
as individuals and a great many more as parts of families--I don't have kids, 
but I'd hate to think that if I did, I'd have to read EN first to make sure 
it meets my standards of what they should or shouldn't read.  And kids aside, 
*I* don't read that sort of claptrap by choice, and am personally offended to 
have it sent into my home as part of my AERC dues...  At least I can walk 
past Cosmopolitan and not buy--that's what free market is all about.  As 
someone else pointed out, my only free market choice in this case would be 
not to join AERC.  Sad.
