In today's sound-bite driven media it is more important for policticians to APPEAR to be doing something. There isn't the public attention span, or depth of knowledge, to know or care if it really will fix the problem, do nothing, or make things worse. Until it becomes a real crisis. I don't see how a technological problem like spam ever becomes a real crisis - like the Savings and Loans did, and Medicare will (worsened by the bill just passed, just like spam) so we filter what we can and live with the rest.

We get the government we deserve.

Keep up the good work Ed.
