everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it just makes me want to set myself on fire

i make fun of conservative republicans a bit on this blog, but bleeding heart liberals are equally deserving of criticism.

in internet law today we were talking about spam and a case where some guy spammed a whole lot of people via email and the state of washington was trying to hold him liable under its anti-spam law. after we talked about the case we were talking about ways in which this type of thing might be prevented, and someone suggested charging a small fee (like 1/2 cent) for each email such that it would be cost prohibitive to spam large numbers of people. this is an idea that has been legitimately discussed. but then she raised her hand.

the bleeding heart liberal with her unwashed hair, her hippie clothes, her lip ring, and her hairy armpits (i shit you not) had something to say. she goes on to say that she doesn't like this idea because what about the poor homeless people who won't be able to afford to send emails?!

maybe i missed that day in con law, but i dont remember learning about an absolute right to free email. was it a tack-on right? i mean, i reread the bill of rights briefly to find out but was that right? did the 5th amendment really proclaim the right to due process, freedom against self incrimination, and the right to free email? holy shit! james madison was a genius!

it's not like it would be $5 per email. it's less than one cent. hell, go recycle the can from the beer you just finished and there's 10 emails. you're welcome hobo,
