it doesn't cost you or I anything to get snail-mail. It just shows up. But it costs us money to get spam. We are paying for that internet connection.
I know this, you missed my point. My point was that the government makes money from mass snail-mail via postage, thus they will do nothing to restrict it. They are not making any money from spam, and people hate it just as much, so they can impose restrictive legislation and come off as the hero. When in reality spam customers may move to snail-mail to mass advertise, thus putting money in the governments hand again. Got it?
The government is so quick to squash SPAM but ignores unsolicited snail-mail? Why? Could it be that snail-mail puts money in the government's pockets via postage? Quite the double standard if you ask me.
On the other hand, there is nothing preventing someone from coming out with a Java implementation for the CLR...
Java is fully compliant with the.NET CLR, as are over 30 other languages.

Nothing like big fish stories from a guy you used to know from Guam as guidelines for dictating the way you live your life.
How about the right to freedom from an oppressive government?
