SPAM

Ugh. I'm convinced that the most evil people on the planet are spammers. Sneaky, underhanded, disgusting, filth of the earth. And they read this page!

The SPAM industry has grown by leaps and bounds. And I'm talking about un-solicited SPAM. The stuff that claims to enlarge your member or have teenage girls doing it with horses. Maybe it's trying to get you to claim your vacation package you've just won (how exactly?? I didn't sign up for it!!)

SPAM falls into multiple levels, Porn, Scams and Solicited. The last you asked for. The first two, you didn't. You can pretty much guarantee that 99.9% of un-solicited SPAM is either a scam or directing you to an adult web site.

And the Adult industry is relentless. They plague your email, they have bots sending your private message via your AIM / Yahoo messenger service claining to be real people interested in you, and they have SPAM-bots all over yahoo chat rooms making false claims. "Hi. Lonely 18f here, pic on profile." There are maybe 1% of the people who see this that are actually gullible enough to think this is a real person.

So when does it stop? A cute little anti SPAM bill on Capital is a nice start, but how about taking it to the next level? And there are people protesting that such a bill would be a violation of the first amendment. Oh, wah. Stop whining. It's a violation of my right to privacy to get 100 emails a day telling me about viagra alternatives, teenage girls who just turned 18 today and want to lose their virginity on camera, and I need to email someone back to claim my huge prize package. I didn't sign up for it. Go screw.

Yes, we can pass a law. When a mass of people collectivly violate any American's rights, a bill needs to be passed. So all you first amendment people shut your trap. No one cares.
