let's can ignorant politicians!
ok. here are links to each of these politicians' biographical info. I don't see any computer-related technology background for either of these guys. Why are they allowed to make laws regarding things they know next to nothing about?
It's a real shame. You know, we wouldn't have such a problem with spam if the vast majority of computer users had the technological know-how to look at the email header and report the offender to the appropriate ISP. You can't legislate a utopia, but you can educate people on how to improve their situations.
