If my property line is my telephone, my firewall, my mail servers, etc., so be it. You don't have the right to force me to hear you. You don't have a right to leave your garbage sit on my property.

Interesting way of looking at this. But your thinking can be used against you.
I have a freedom of speech, and you have a freedom not to hear me. But if I stand out in the street and say what I want, but you left your window open, and can still hear me, then it's your fault.
The spammers will simply say I can send it all I want. If it crosses your "property line" then it's because you haven't done anything to stop it. If you don't want it coming through your firewall, then stop it. You simply left your window open...
Trust me, if we go forward with this train of thought we will only help their fight.
Hmmm youve got a point. But, there are ways you can be limited. For example if you wanted to gather a crowd to chant your message it would be unlawful assebly?(IANAL jut playing devils advocate) In some places if you used a magaphone or PA over a certain dB then you would be violating noise ordenances.
