Hatred Of Spam Cuts Across All Other Political Disagreements

from the now,-can-they-actually-do-something? dept

Politicians have been shoving each other aside with great force this year to be the latest and greatest to introduce their solution to spam. With so many folks in politics interested in stopping spam, is it any surprise that a very liberal Senator has teamed with the very conservative Christian Coalition to team up in an effort to get rid of spam? It's pretty clear that everyone, outside of the spammers themselves, really hate spam (and the spammers themselves aren't so happy when people spam them back). So, now the question is, for all this "peace-between-enemies" rhetoric, can they actually do anything to stop spam?
