spam's not going away anytime soon

It's like I tell myself lots of times "a brain is not a requirement for a driver's license".

How many times do we all decry the idiotic behavior of people? You name it: people getting into all kinds of trouble, be it responding spam, getting in over their heads (alcoholism, drug addiction, unwanted pregnancies, etc.). People will keep making bad choices.

Education will help prevent some people from responding to spam. Bad experiences from responding to spam will deter others, but by then some damage will have been done.

At some point, the economic damage from spam could begin to approach the damage from illegal drugs. That would tempt some to take the law into their own hands and put out bounties for
spammers. Already, one big time spammer is known to sleep with a loaded weapon at his bedside.

It could come to that.
