Spammers Pleased with 'Anti'-Spam Act

grung0r writes "A post at Ed Foster's Gripelog explains why the new anti-spam law that Congress is passing isn't a good idea: 'it's clear that only the Direct Marketing Association, Microsoft, AOL and a handful of others had any input into the law, because it's carefully crafted to allow the big marketers free reign. And the loopholes it provides them will be more than big enough to provide aid and comfort for the smallest and sleaziest of spammers as well.' More about the problems with the law can be found at cauce.org." The direct marketers are dancing in the streets over it.

Whats the point?

Of having a civilisation if all people are going to do is constantly undermine everything people work for? It could be a hit and a miss with this post but i am unhappy with all the news i hear. I stopped watching TV because its so depressing and now where ever i go on the net, there is conflict after conflict. Its seems that no matter what we create for the benefit of everybody there is countless others who will undermine it and more importantly get away with it. Everything can have a negative effect on society but it seems everybody wants to rob or cheat it. But if its a way of life where does it get everybody? The people who cheat eventually die and leave a shithole for the rest of us.

What does being liberal have to do with this? Would it be any different if a weak minded conservative came up with it? Aside from the fact that we be obligated to send death squads to other countries, I mean.

This weak-minded conservative appears to like it:

"Now we can go back to looking forward to opening our inboxes in the morning because we'll have notes from our friends rather than herbal supplements and mortgage offers," said Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M.

The only weak mind in action at the moment is the original poster that sought to link this useless bill to his paranoia of "librul" politicians. Or perhaps it was a carefully crafted troll designed to look like an idiot?
