| do not invite the government in
I hate spamming, there is no justification for it and the people who perpetuate it are complete losers and general annoyances. BUT I can not stomach the government involving itself in yet another aspect of our lives. I would rather be annoyed then be another step closer to government regulation. It is easy to give power, that is the basis of a constitution, it is quite another to get that power back.

You obviously are not on as many spam lists as I am. At work I had to change my e-mail address because of the volume of spam I was getting. Now the new one is starting to get lots of spam. These people are costing me time and money. I would support government death squads killing the spammers.

| I sympathize with your frustration. I am lucky enough not to have to use email on a professional basis. I wish that we, the citizen, could take action independent of the government to stop or slow down spamming. I just worry, with more and more regulations levied upon is and the horror story of the US Patriot Act, that this is another opportunity for the legislative branch to burden us with more broad, pork laden regulation that probably won’t work.

Probably won't work?!!? I can assure you it won't work. Spam regulation would be along the lines of a new law that forces drug cartels to obey OSHA regulations and file taxes.
