Michigan's Proposed Spam Law Called Toughest In U.S.

goats_in_boats writes "A new bill (PDF or HTML) was presented to the Governor of Michigan that would require spam sent to residents of the State to be identified as such. Highlights include the requirement that unsolicited email 'Include in the e-mail subject line "ADV:" as the first 4 characters' and that 'a person who violates this act is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $10,000.00, or both.' An article in the Detroit Free Press calls the bill 'the most stringent anti-spam law in the nation.'"

And what, specifically, is wrong with prostitution per se? You have a demand and a supplier. I'd say that pretty much meets the definition of capitalism. Legalize it, regulate it, and you've pretty much settled the issue.
