S P A M.
There is a reason that is a 4-letter word.
It is incredibly aggravating to log into an email account you have protected by not posting it anywhere in a chat room, on the web, using it only for business emails and yet, you've still been the victim of spammers.
I just finished sending 900 emails (that arrived since yesterday morning) to Yahoo marked "this is Spam." I don't actually have any great confidence that sending it the powers that be, marked as spam, will make it stop, but it gives one at least the pretense that "I am all-powerful and in charge of my own mailbox."
Truly, I think that people who send Spam should be billed, just as if they had sent an actual letter via USPS; I believe it would cut down drastically on the amount of Spam, and free up the all important, ever-threatened bandwidth. All of those telemarketers bitterly complaining about their potential loss of income due to tougher laws should also be allowed to continue, but they need to be billed a surcharge that should be exorbitantly high. I think the internet should be free of charge for regular users and free from irritation by the societal deviants known as child pornographers, psycho stalkers and spammers.
Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. And that is why I'm going to run for a political office.
Heeee-heeeee! I'd send Republicans and Democrats alike scurrying for cover if they thought I was serious. ;)
