Minnesota Spam And Privacy Act Takes Effect
2cv writes "The Minnesota Internet Consumer Information Privacy and Commercial Electronic Mail Solicitation Act takes effect today. An article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press focuses on the spam aspect of the law. However, its chief author admits the measure has no teeth. While not an earth-shattering event, the signing of the bill by former Governor Jesse Ventura did break ground. It was the nation's first online privacy bill. Jesse jokes are welcomed but likely to be modded down as irrelevant."
who would be a poor man, a beggar man a thief?
if he had the rich man at his hand
and who would steal the candy from the laughing babies mouth
if he could take it from the money man
cross-eyed mary, goes jumping in again
she signs no contract, but she always plays the game
she dines in hampton village, on expense accounted gruel
and the jack-knife barber, drops her off at school
laughing in the playground, she gets no kisses from little boys
she would rather make it with a letching grey
or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
who watches through the railings as they play
hey!
cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get alone
she's a poor man's rich girl, and she'll do it for a song
she's a rich man's stealer, but her faith is good and strong
she's the robin hood of packing, let the poor man get along
