Much Ado About Spam

Legislators are creating a great ballyhoo over spam, telemarketers and privacy to create the impression that they are passing important legislation. Instead they are busy sending our money to Iraq and, in the case of Medicare, to the large drug companies. As for privacy, most of our commercially relevant information is in databases readily available for a price.

The solutions to spam and telemarketing are simple: delete; hang up.
