Make everyone take the Boulder Pledge.
WTF "Boulder Pledge?"
Google can be _your_ friend, too.
"Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me
as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward
chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large
numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the
online community."

Hmmm. Did you also read about the "CAN-SPAM" law? (Link at the bottom
of the BP page).

It seems Congress has not only de facto legalized spam, they're even
overriding states' rights by pre-empting state anti-spam laws!
I can see you're another sheeple that hasn't learned to think for
himself.
Think about it: How can you 'legalize' something that had no prior
restrictions? Does what you said make any sense?
I agree that it was unwise to override some state laws, especially since
Calif had just toughened the spam laws. But don't try to tell us that
the law legalizes spam. The law puts restriction on spamming where
there were none before (nationally).
