Is the CAN-SPAM Act Working?

DynaSoar writes "Lance Ulanoff of PCMag.com offer his opinion on the success, or lack thereof, of the CAN-SPAM Act. It doesn't appear to be working, though spammers have noticed, in that they try to make their spam look "legit". What might make a real difference, according to US Senator Conrad Burns, co-author of the bill, is international standards and enforcement."

    From the look of contents of these emails, these people are about as educated as the average armadillo. That current funding for education is dropping like a rock (California will go from 34th to 46th in per student spending) it's no surprise I'm getting all this spam with horrible spelling and grammar. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
