Virginia Anti-Spam Law; FTC Forum on Spam

kiwimate writes "According to this press release, the state of Virginia has just passed a statute making 'the worst, most egregious and fraudulent kinds of spam' legally actionable. And yes, this includes header forging. The article reads like a big AOL PR piece in some places -- the VA governor led the signing at the AOL HQ in Dulles. The story also states this comes on the eve of the first-ever FTC forum on spam in Washington D.C." The FTC also made the insightful discovery that most spam is fraudulent in some fashion.

    The FTC also made the insightful discovery that most spam is fraudulent in some fashion.

    Yet, the FDA (also a bureau of the administrative branch of the U.S. goverment, for all you furriners who take exception to typical insensitive slashdot US-centric and clodish nature, just being clear), Food and Drug Administration, allows the marketing of 'Herbal Remedies', which effectively let all sorts of varmints claim to be marginally less illegal by offering these as body part enhancements, muscle mass builders, weight loss treatments, etc. This should make for more interesting fodder.

    Well, I knew it was coming. In fact, I predicted it quite a long time ago when I said that Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer asshole would elevate unreasonable tricksters to the sublime. And now that he has, we must indeed improve the lot of humankind. To begin at the beginning, I cannot promise not to be angry at Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer asshole. I do promise, however, to try to keep my anger under control, to keep it from leading me -- as it leads Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer asshole -- to strip people of their rights to free expression and individuality. Stripping from the term "historicocabbalistical" the negative connotations it evokes, I will try to give you some background information about him. Have you ever had a bad dream about him trying to legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged for the oppressed? Well, I have news for you. That wasn't a dream; it was real. Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer asshole seeks scapegoats for his own shortcomings by blaming the easiest target he can find, that is, lecherous inane-types.

    In effect, my purpose here is not to give peace a chance. Well, okay, it is. But I should point out that if we are powerless to instill a sense a responsibility and maturity in those who create widespread hysteria, it is because we have allowed Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer asshole to alter, rewrite, or ignore past events to make them consistent with his current "reality". For the sake of concreteness: He says that he is a model citizen. That is the most despicable lie I have ever heard in my entire life.

    Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer asshole's loquacious outbursts leave the current power structure untouched while simultaneously killing countless children through starvation and disease. Are these children his enemies? It is only when one has answers to that question is it possible to make sense of his witticisms, because he likes thinking thoughts that aren't burdensome and that feel good. That's why the pen is a powerful tool. Why don't we use that tool to arraign Alphasys the buttfucking child molesting fucking queer ass
